Benefits Of SOd
- Sod helps reduce soil erosion by providing a strong layer of grass that holds the soil in place and prevents water runoff. This helps to maintain healthy soil nutrient levels and protect nearby vegetation from harm.
- Sod can help reduce air pollution levels by trapping dust particles and other pollutants in the area. This is because the dense root system of sod traps these particles in its intricate network, preventing them from entering into the atmosphere.
- Sod helps regulate temperature by keeping surfaces cooler during hot summer days and warmer during cold winter days than if they were left bare. This can be beneficial for both humans and plants alike as it creates an ideal environment for growth.

Why Choose Sod Over Seed?
When landscaping your lawn, the choice between sod and seed can be a tricky one. While both have their benefits, there are several reasons why you should choose sod over seed when installing a new lawn.
Sod Gives Instant Gratification
One of the biggest advantages of choosing sod over seed is that you get instant gratification. With sodding, you get an immediate result – in many cases, your lawn will look perfect after installation. In contrast, seeding can take weeks or even months before you see a significant amount of growth.
Sod Is Less Maintenance
Sodding requires significantly less maintenance than seeding because it's already established grass. After laying down the sod and watering it thoroughly, the turf generally requires little to no additional care outside of routine mowing and fertilizing. Compared to seeding which requires consistent watering, weeding and possible re-seeding with each season – sodding offers much less maintenance overall.
Sod Suppresses Weeds
Finally, sodding also offers denser lawns than seeded alternatives do – since sodded grass is already established, weeds and pests are much less likely to take hold in your newly laid turf. For those looking for a pristine green lawn free from pests or weeds, this is an important factor to consider when choosing between sodded and seeded options!

We Deliver Sod By The Pallet
Sod comes on pallets, with each pallet containing fifty 2' by 5' sod rolls. Our delivery truck has an all terrain fork lift to put the pallets wherever is convenient for you. The minimum width for access is 8 feet.
Sod Care
Before You Order Sod
Sod is a living product, and to fully enjoy its benefits, it needs proper care from the moment it arrives. Each order is freshly cut and palletized, so it’s crucial to lay it the same day for the best results.
Preparing for Your Sod Delivery
To ensure a smooth installation:
- Complete all prep work beforehand – The area should be tilled or have fresh topsoil spread.
- Schedule help in advance – If you're hiring labor, book them before placing your order.
- Consider multiple deliveries for large areas – This prevents sod from sitting too long on pallets.
While sod can survive on a pallet for more than a day, it’s not ideal. If you can’t install it immediately, keep it moist, out of direct sunlight, and covered with a tarp.
Installing and Watering Your Sod
Once laid, sod should be watered immediately to encourage root growth. On hot days, soak the sod as you go—don’t wait until the entire area is installed to begin watering. This is especially critical in summer months when high temperatures can quickly dry out the sod. Spring is the best time to install sod, thanks to cooler temperatures and frequent rainfall.
Ordering & Delivery
Sod deliveries require planning. We recommend placing your order at least a week in advance to ensure availability. While we often deliver sooner, it’s not guaranteed. Unlike mulch or other landscaping materials, sod is a perishable product that requires careful scheduling and preparation.
