Drainage fixes for older Transcona yards
A lot of the older homes have backyards that pool after every spring melt. We regrade, add proper soil, and slope toward the back lane so the water actually moves.

Sod & Artificial Turf Installation in Transcona
From the older Transcona bungalows to the newer Park City Commons builds — practical lawn work, fair prices.
Transcona is two neighbourhoods in one when it comes to lawns. The older sections — north and central Transcona — have established trees, settled clay, and yards that have been through 40+ Winnipeg winters. The newer Park City and Devonshire Park areas are mostly post-2010 builds with the same thin-topsoil issue you see in any new Winnipeg subdivision.
We work in both. Tear-outs and re-sods on the older streets. Full new-build installs and drainage fixes in the newer pockets. Honest pricing, no upsells — that's what gets us most of our Transcona work.
How we work in Transcona
New build site prep in Park City and Devonshire
Same story as the rest of Winnipeg's new subdivisions — thin topsoil, compacted clay. We add the soil that should have been there from the start and install sod that will actually take.
Dog-friendly artificial turf
Lots of dog owners in Transcona. Side-yard turf installs and dog-run conversions are common requests — and they end the cycle of replacing the back lawn every two years.
What we do most in Transcona

What we know about Transcona lawns
Settled clay backyards
Decades of settling have left a lot of older Transcona yards lower in the middle than at the edges. Water collects there every spring. Regrading is the only real fix.
Thin topsoil in new sections
Park City and Devonshire builds often have just enough black soil to look right at handover. We add what's missing so the sod has something to root into.
Dog wear in small backyards
Smaller Transcona backyards take a beating from dogs. Sod fails fast in those conditions — artificial turf is usually the smarter long-term call.
"Got three quotes for a backyard regrade and re-sod. They were the most straightforward of the three, came in middle on price, and the work was clean. Two summers in and the backyard still looks great."

A standard backyard (400–800 sq ft) with prep and sod is usually one day. Two days if there's heavy drainage work involved.
