Liam SmithEver walked past a home and thought, “Wow, that’s one flawless lawn—bet they never have to mow!”? Trust me, you’re not the only one wondering if that vibrant, green grass is even real.
Artificial grass has totally changed the game, and it’s perfect for anyone tired of patchy lawns, muddy messes, or just endless yard maintenance. But let’s get real—finding someone to install it isn’t something you want to leave to just anyone with a shovel.
You want Ottawa’ best—local pros who really know their stuff. Good news: we’ve rounded up the top artificial grass installers in town! Check them out.
How much does installing artificial grass cost in Ottawa?
In Ottawa, installing artificial grass typically costs between $5 and $20 per square foot, depending on the quality of the turf and the complexity of the installation.
For an average-sized yard, this could mean a total investment ranging from $4,000 to $15,000, which usually includes materials, ground preparation, and labor.
1. Rymar
Address: 1435 Cyrville Rd, Unit 1
Phone: +1 613 733 9875
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
Rymar is hard to miss if you’re looking for artificial glass in Ottawa. After spending some time there and chatting with the team, we totally get why they’ve stuck around—60 years in the biz and counting isn’t something you see every day.
The neat thing is, these guys geek out on the technical stuff—their turf is made to handle Ottawa’s wild weather, from roasting summers to icy winters.
We saw samples up close, and yeah, they actually look like real grass, not those shiny, plastic-y ones you see in some yards. People we spoke to swear by the toughness and say the products barely fade or wear out, even after several seasons.
Furthermore, they’re not just selling turf; they’ve got all the extras covered too, from those surprisingly realistic artificial trees and shrubs to antimicrobial rubber surfaces (one of us has a dog with allergies, so we love this).
However, they’re closed on weekends, and the appointment wait can be more than a week.
Consistently high-quality service and product expertise
“We have been dealing with Rymar for years (artificial turf, rubber rock for the garage floor, rubber mulch for our gardens, Artificial Grass electric brush.) We keep coming back because of the high quality of service, and quality of products. Matt is a great employee who takes time to fully understand your requirements and works for you to make sure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase.”

2. Bonanza Turf
Address: Serving Ottawa and nearby areas
Phone: +1 514 592 8775
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 7 PM
- Saturday – 8 AM to 5 PM
- Sunday – 8 AM to 1 PM
Bonanza Turf is not just throwing down turf—they’ve got this streamlined process where their landscape crew manages everything, from measuring up your space to the final stretch.
According to the folks we spoke with, things get wrapped up quickly and professionally (one client noted their yard project finished in two days, which is wild). Add to this, they also appreciated how the crew shared tips on how to prolong the grass condition before leaving.
Sadly, we also heard from a few clients how the crew leaves behind some mess—not a big deal, but it’s worth mentioning, though.
Going back to the turf, they’ve got several options with a 10- to 15-year warranty.
We also got to view turf samples—the staff explained the differences between each and mentioned how they didn’t have any metal content or sketchy chemicals. This is particularly great if you have pets or kids sprinting around.
If you’re only after the turf itself, no pressure! They’ll just sell you the material, or you can ask them to prep and lay everything, even for sports fields, balconies, dog runs, or playgrounds.
Attentive service and hassle-free maintenance
“From beginning to end this experience was excellent! From dealing with the owner Cynthia to her kind, courteous and hard-working staff! I would recommend this product to anyone who has issues with maintenance. I no longer ever have to worry about it and it looks fantastic! Thank you Bonanza Turf! Keep up the excellent work!”
Tonie Wheeler, Google Review
Efficient installation with outstanding communication
“I would recommend this company to anyone looking to upgrade their backyard. Their team is so fast, professional and efficient. The communication throughout our project exceeded my expectations. Our backyard had some drainage issues and required some problem solving/troubleshooting. Cynthia took the time to explain everything so clearly, which was so helpful. Thank you bonanza turf!!”

3. Instant Lawns
Address: 720 Belfast Rd #216
Phone: +1 613 733 7253
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
Instant Lawns really stands out if you’re looking to take the stress out of keeping your yard looking lush without all the usual maintenance headaches. Right from the start, the team exuded a professional vibe—nobody tried to upsell us things we didn’t need.
They offer a comprehensive menu of services, including synthetic turf, sodding, hydroseeding, maintenance, and irrigation. The staff walked us through the process, from choosing materials to understanding maintenance, keeping things jargon-free.
A big plus in our books, and for the previous clients we spoke with, is Instant Lawn’s focus on using premium, eco-friendly materials. With the three-year warranty on artificial turf and their satisfaction guarantee, it’s clear they stand behind their work.
We also appreciate how they build out seasonal maintenance packages, so your yard’s covered no matter the weather. However, it’s worth noting that they do ask for a 40% deposit before you even get an install date, and there can be a waitlist during busy months.
Meticulous work and impressive product knowledge
“We met at the Ottawa home and garden show. We were first most impressed with their professionalism and second with their knowledge of their products. We decided to go ahead and book them to do our yard, knowing we wanted artificial turf and only the best!
The guys showed up and were meticulous from start to finish. They paid very close attention to detail as my husband is quite a stickler for the small details.
All this to say, they were great and would highly recommend them.
Thanks again, we truly are enjoying our new back yard space.”

4. LevelScape Interlock & Landscaping
Address: Serving Ottawa and nearby areas
Phone: +1 613 867 5454
Business Hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 8 AM to 6 PM
LevelScape Interlock & Landscaping is not just a familiar name; with 25+ years in the trenches, they really know their turf. Their premium synthetic grass goes into everything—from lawns, playgrounds, sports fields, and even quirky pet corners.
What we like is that they use antimicrobial turf, so nobody has to worry about bacteria or allergy flare-ups (huge win for families with kids and pets). LevelScape doesn’t phone it in, either.
Every install comes backed with a solid 5-year warranty, and, based on our snooping, the grass actually stands up to Ottawa’s wild weather.
Most homeowners we spoke to said the place looks great after they’re done, and maintenance is a non-issue, which is always a bonus.
The downside? We did hear about a few installations taking longer than promised, mostly because the team arrived late some days—something to keep in mind if you’re on a deadline.
Flexible and thorough service
“We had a great experience with LevelScape. They did a strip of turf for us and it looks amazing! We had to switch part of the project to river rock and they had no issues changing it up at the last minute and getting the job done. They were timely, professional and did a great job of clean up at the end. Very happy with the project and would definitely use in the future and recommend!”
Sarah Tremblay, Google Review
Reliable installation with a smooth experience
“I had LevelScape in to install a long strip of artificial turf the length of my property on one side of the house. Looks great! They were professional, installed on time and no unexpected issues. Hoping to use them again in the near future!”

5. Ottawa Artificial Grass
Address: 2536 Leitrim Rd, Gloucester
Phone: +1 613 796 5296
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 7 AM to 4 PM
Ottawa Artificial Grass handles everything from that first quote to installation, specializing in low-maintenance artificial turf for lawns, putting greens, playgrounds, rooftops, and commercial jobs.
What’s interesting is that they exclusively use EnvyLawn products, which are known in the industry for both quality and being 100% eco-friendly.
Not every installer goes green to this level, so that’s already a tick for anyone wanting to reduce time on yard chores.
Best of all, the company boasts a 15-year transferable warranty, so the turf is literally set and forget for ages. Furthermore, every time we checked in, the sites were tidy; cleanup actually seems to be part of their routine.
Most clients we spoke to also added how organized the team was—no confusion, just a crew that clearly works well together and finishes up quicker than most expected.
The only real knocks are their communication, which a few people flagged as slow or patchy, and they’re closed on weekends.
Friendly service and impressive results
“We decided to have artificial grass put in our backyard to replace the mudpit created by our dogs every year. Dean and Tom were friendly and professional. The workers did a fantastic job. We love how it looks — much more natural looking than I was expecting – and it feels nice on the bare feet, although it can get a bit warm in the direct sun. The dogs love to roll around on it, and I love how much less mud they are bringing into the house. One recommendation I have is to communicate by phone rather than email during the busy season as the response is quicker that way. Overall, great experience, definitely worth it.”

Smooth, hassle-free installation
“From the detailed estimate right through to the installation, it was a smooth process with Ottawa Artificial Grass. We installed a pet-friendly turf that we are quite happy with.”
