Expert Sod + Seed Installation, Turf Care and Custom Fertilizing in St. Catharines
Since 2021 we have been laying sod, seeding and feeding lawns right across St. Catharines — Port Dalhousie to Merritton, the North End to Western Hill. We are a team of homeowners who are OBSESSED with our lawns, and the goal on every job is the same one: make yours the nicest lawn on your street.
Why St. Catharines homeowners call a turf specialist instead of a landscaper
LawnJunkie is Niagara’s premier lawn experts, and we are not general landscapers. Grass is the whole job here — soil, seed, sod, feeding, and the boring parts in between. We could only renovate our own lawns so many times before we started doing everybody else’s, and we still treat your lawn exactly the way we treat ours.
St. Catharines lawns have their own problems. Most of the city sits on heavy Niagara clay that holds water into April and then bakes hard by July, so seed struggles to take and roots stay shallow. The older streets carry decades of compaction and whatever fill went down when the house was built. The newer subdivisions are usually builder’s topsoil — a thin skin over subsoil. Those need three different fixes, and the first thing we do is work out which one you have.
That means soil testing before anything else, then custom-blended soils, elite seed and sod selections, advanced leveling, and a fertilizer program built for your yard instead of a spray schedule off a clipboard. Cutting-edge where it earns its keep — and straightforward sod installation or repair when that is honestly all your lawn needs.
At Lawnjunkie, our mission is to transform your yard into the envy of the neighborhood: a golf course-quality lawn your whole family can enjoy.
Sod Installation
Premium sod laid over properly prepped and graded soil. An established lawn the day we finish, instead of waiting a season for seed to fill in.
Seed Installation
Elite seed blends matched to your yard's soil and light. More flexibility than sod at a lower cost, held to the same golf course standard.
Lawn Fertilizer Programs
Custom programs built on soil testing, using golf course-grade granular and liquid fertilizer. Not a one-size-fits-all spray schedule.
Every corner of St. Catharines
We work right across the city, and each end of it hands us a different problem. Tell us your street and we will tell you what we usually find there.
Port Dalhousie
Lakeside lots with mature trees, so shade and root competition are usually the problem long before soil is. Also where we built one of our backyard putting greens.
The North End
Facer Street, Carlton, and the streets running down toward the lake. Established homes, established lawns, and usually years of compaction to open up first.
Glenridge & Burleigh Hill
Up on the escarpment, where slope and run-off matter as much as what the soil is made of. Water leaves before it soaks in.
Merritton & Western Hill
Older housing stock and mixed fill from decades of work on the same ground. Levelling first, grass second.
Vansickle & Martindale
Newer subdivisions, usually builder’s topsoil laid thin over subsoil. Sod takes beautifully once the base underneath it is right.
Grantham & Lakeport
Open lots that get full sun and dry out fast in August. Seed choice does more work here than almost anywhere else in the city.

Recent work — St. Catharines
Sod going down on a St. Catharines yard
A St. Catharines property mid-installation. Rolls staged, soil graded, and the crew working the seams so the joints knit instead of showing all season.
This one was part of a whole-yard rebuild that started with a dying tree and garden beds that had gone feral. The stump came out, the beds came back to bare soil, and the lawn went in over ground that had been put right first.

The team at Lawnjunkie renovated my lawn in North End St. Catharines. They removed the existing lawn and sodded our front and backyard. 2 years later, it still looks great. Great job guys!
