Why Choose Kentucky Bluegrass Sod?

• Classic Northeast Look – Deep green color and fine blades create the picture-perfect lawn.
• Durable & Self-Healing – Grows through underground rhizomes that fill in thin spots.
• Cold Hardy – Handles New England winters and thrives in spring/fall.
• High-End Appeal – Commonly used for luxury estates, sports fields, and showcase properties.

For many homeowners, Kentucky Bluegrass is the definition of a “real lawn.”

A Grass with History

Kentucky Bluegrass may be the standard for modern lawns, but it didn’t start that way. As we explored in our article From Pasture to Lawn: The Origin and Rise of Kentucky Bluegrass, this grass first spread across the American landscape as a hardy pasture grass, valued for feeding livestock.

By the 20th century, its dense, uniform growth and rich color made it the grass of choice for home lawns, golf courses, and parks. Today, Kentucky Bluegrass is not only a practical turf but also a cultural symbol — tied to the image of lush suburban lawns and estate landscapes throughout the Northeast.

When you choose Kentucky Bluegrass sod, you’re not just buying grass — you’re installing a piece of lawn history.

• Fertilization – Spring and fall feedings for best results.
