It's no secret we're not huge lawn fans at Epic Gardening - I don't have one in my yard, @Jacques in the Garden doesn't in his, and Chris DOES have a lawn...that she created herself and that includes NO turf grass, while providing all of the traditional benefits of a lawn space. In this video she'll go over 3 different alternatives for those of you in colder climates.

You: hey! Turfgrass is bullshit! This class is bullshit! Everything about this is terrible! // Your teacher: yea, u right
ADHJL;FSKLJSDF BASICALLY YEAH
No but for more context because I actually think it’s hilarious:
In this class, the teacher posted a writing prompt to the online portal every week.
The very first question of the semester was “What is your current knowledge of turfgrass/Current opinions of turfgrass/etc” that kind of vibe.
And I wrote something that can basically be summed up as “I think lawns are bullshit wastes of water and space and should be converted to food gardens” and I guess he respected I had the guts to shout that into the open that he gave me extra credit.
BUT FAST FORWARD
The very LAST prompt of the semester was “Research a First in Turfgrass History.” As in, research the world’s first lawnmower, or research the world’s first sprinkler system, that shit.
AND FOR SOME BIZARRO REASON I was on a really huge bocce ball obsession at the time. Which is a lawn bowling game, for those who don’t know. So I was like. Boy I really hope bocce ball is the “first lawn game” because I really want an excuse just to ramble about bocce ball for school credit.
So while trying to google to find a definite answer that would tell me what the “first lawn game” was, I learned the following: lawn bowling is the entire fucking reason we have home lawns in the first place. I shit you not. Basically, it used to be played at parks and then it became a mark of wealth and status if you could be like “Behold, I have a lawn at my house, so I can host parties to play lawn bowling at my actual house!!!” and that’s part of why nice lawns were associated with the upper class.
So I wrote this essay about the history of lawn bowling, and then my conclusion was like “Lawn bowling is the reason we have lawns at home. It’s so that people can play bocce ball at their house. But do you ever see anyone play bocce ball at home anymore?? No. How many people even know what it is these days?? It’s not exactly a popular sport. Therefore home lawns are bullshit wastes of water and space and should be converted to food gardens.”
And he gave me extra credit again.
Eating Weeds: Clovers
If you ever spent time hunting for four-leaf clovers in the lawn as a kid, in all likelihood you were seeking out the leaves of Trifolium repens or one of its close relatives. Commonly known as white clover, the seeds of T. repens once came standard in turfgrass seed mixes and was a welcome component of a healthy lawn thanks to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and provide free fertilizer.…

How Much Sod Really Costs Per Square Foot in Winnipeg 🌱
If you’re dreaming about an instant green lawn, sod is one of the fastest ways to make it happen — no waiting weeks for seeds, no patchy growth, just fresh turf rolled right into place. But the big question most Winnipeg homeowners ask first is: What’s the real cost per square foot?
Before diving in, you can check out this in-depth cost breakdown from Neil & Nick’s for a full overview of what affects sod pricing in the city.
💵 So… How Much Is Sod Per Sq. Ft. in Winnipeg?
On average, you’re looking at $3 to $6 per square foot for a full sod installation.
Here’s the usual breakdown:
Sod material cost: $0.75–$2.00/sq. ft.
Professional installation: $1.50–$4.00/sq. ft.
Your price depends on a few things: the sod variety, how level or uneven your yard is, the soil quality, and whether the landscaping crew needs to do extra work before laying the turf.
If you want a clearer idea of yard prep, the Neil & Nick’s grading and sod service overview gives a good look at what’s included in professional prep work.
🌤️ When’s the Best Time to Lay Sod in Winnipeg?
While sod can technically be installed almost anytime, spring and fall are the sweet spots. Cooler temps, better moisture, easier root development — everything works in your favor.
Summer heat and deep winter freezes? Not so much.
🚫 Can You Lay Sod on Top of Grass?
Short answer: nope.
New turf needs direct contact with the soil to root properly. Laying it over old grass just traps air, blocks nutrients, and causes the sod to fail. Removing the existing grass is a must.
🛠️ Can You Install Sod Yourself?
Yes! Lots of homeowners do. Just be ready for:
Removing weeds + old grass
Loosening and enriching the soil
Leveling the area
Laying sod in tight, staggered seams
Watering thoroughly
