Professional sod installation throughout the Okanagan Valley and Salmon Arm. 9 years experience, free estimates, fair pricing. Call Cool Runnings at (250) 307-9220.
We measure the area, assess the existing soil and drainage, and give you a firm price including all soil prep and sod supply.
Old lawn, weeds, and debris are stripped and removed. We haul it away — nothing left behind.
We add topsoil where needed, grade for proper drainage away from structures, and create a firm, level base. This is the step most people skip — and the reason sod fails.
Sod is laid in tight rows with staggered seams, cut precisely around edges, obstacles, and curves. No gaps, no overlaps.
We roll the sod to ensure solid root-to-soil contact, and give you a thorough first watering before we leave.
We walk you through the 3-week watering schedule that gets your sod established — the difference between a lawn that takes and one that dies.
In Kelowna, sod can go down any time the ground isn't frozen. The two ideal windows are: spring (after late April) for a full growing season, and late August through September when cooler temperatures make establishment easier and watering needs are lower. We recommend booking spring installs in March — sod season fills up fast.
Most standard residential jobs in Kelowna take 1–2 days from soil prep through final install. Larger properties or those needing significant grading can take 2–3 days. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your estimate.
A typical residential sod installation in the Okanagan runs $8–$14 per square foot all-in, depending on site conditions, soil prep needed, and access. We provide free, detailed estimates with transparent per-square-foot pricing. Call (250) 307-9220 to book your free estimate.
We use quality fescue and Kentucky bluegrass blends suited to Kelowna's zone 6a/7a climate. These varieties handle summer heat, recover from drought dormancy, and perform well with typical Okanagan irrigation setups. We recommend the right variety based on your sun exposure and irrigation availability.
