The climate of Richmond, BC is mild in both the summer and winter; it rarely snows and the temperatures do not fluctuate as they do in other areas. The lack of harsh weather creates a welcoming environment for high-quality grass to grow, allowing Richmond sod to flourish. The high population of Richmond does not allow everyone to have a lawn, but those who do have yard space can enjoy thick, soft grass that’s ideal for any activity. Every yard needs a proper base layer of healthy soil to provide its grass with the required nutrients.
Western Turf Farms has a great selection of topsoil including Biosoil, Prosoil, Premium Boost Soil, and Rainforest Premium Garden Blend Soil. These soils are perfect for a garden or planters as well. Our excellent turf selection allows you to have your choice of grass: Rye, Sand Sort, Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, Supreme, or Bent.

Richmond’s unique geography—built on the Fraser River delta—means many properties have peat-rich, water-retentive soil and a high water table.

Richmond’s unique coastal setting and soil composition require a smart approach to lawn care. Whether you’re starting fresh with sod or maintaining an existing lawn, here are a few tips for success in Richmond:
💧 Moisture Management
Richmond’s high water table and frequent rainfall mean drainage is key. Our turf blends are selected for their ability to root quickly and manage excess moisture, especially in areas like East Richmond or Steveston. Consider improving drainage with a sandy topsoil base before installation.
🌤 Sun & Shade Balance
From wide-open lots in Terra Nova to tree-covered yards in Broadmoor, Richmond homes often experience mixed light conditions. Fescue is ideal for shadier properties, while Ryegrass and Supreme blends do well in sunnier areas with heavier foot traffic.
🚫 Pest & Moss Issues
Like much of the Lower Mainland, Richmond lawns may encounter moss buildup in damp, shaded areas. A healthy, well-draining lawn with proper mowing and fertilization helps keep moss and other common problems (like crane flies) in check.
🌿 Watering Guidelines
New sod will need frequent watering in the first 2–3 weeks, but Richmond’s mild summers often allow for lighter watering long-term. Be sure to check the City of Richmond’s watering regulations for up-to-date seasonal rules.
Western Turf Farms is located just outside Richmond, which means fast, reliable delivery and expert support for residential and commercial projects across the city.
