Franklin Street South Stage Three End of Sod Warranty Letter

Please be advised the City’s hired contractor has met their contractual obligations as it relates to the care and rectification of the newly sodded areas with the project limits noted above. With the contractor now excused from the watering and maintenance of the newly sodded areas, it is now the property owner’s responsibility to continue the watering, maintenance and care of these newly sodded areas, as required.

After construction, depression settlement may occur, meaning the soil over the area that was dug up had settled. Should depression occur, rectification of the depression will happen during the project two year maintenance period.

Please note new sod can may take up to two years to fully root and establish itself. The weather sun exposure and such can impact the establishment and health of young sod. We encourage property owners to continue periodic watering, care and maintenance of the sod going forward.

If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the city’s Project Manager by phone at 519-741-2200 ext. 7132 or email at licinio.costa@kitchener.ca.
