Services
Sod Supply
We provide certified TWCA sod blends that reduce water consumption by up to 40%. Our high-quality turfgrass establishes mature lawns quickly for residential, commercial, and municipal projects. Each sod roll delivers environmental benefits while creating durable, aesthetically pleasing outdoor spaces.
Installation Services
Our professional team installs large sod rolls using specialized equipment. We require customer assistance for site preparation and accessibility. Projects must have unobstructed access to accommodate our machinery for efficient, large-scale turf deployment.
Delivery
We deliver sod directly to job sites or residences from our Wetaskiwin farm. Accessibility assessments ensure safe offloading. Delivery availability depends on road conditions and community access restrictions for our large trucks.
Fertilizer Sales
We offer starter fertilizer with a 15-40-0-0 blend to promote root development. Our fertilization program supports healthy grass growth throughout the season, complementing our sustainable lawn care practices.
Seed Supply
We provide 1 lb grass seed bags for small repair projects. Our proprietary blends combine bluegrass and fescue varieties selected for early greening and seasonal color retention in Alberta's climate.

Report
We had a great experience ordering from Big Lake Sod! All of the staff we spoke with were knowledgeable and so cheerful. Prices are also much better than going to a reseller in Edmonton, and the sod is fresh cut.
