Q. How far in advance do I need to order?
A. We typically recommend 48 hours notice, however if less notice is given we
will try to accommodate your time schedule. Our delivery
window in most areas is from Monday to Friday. We
generally do
not ship over the weekend.
Q. How far in advance do I need to order custom grown
sod?
A. Generally speaking the more advance notice that
is given to us, the better we can accommodate your
needs. To grow sod to maturity we need a minimum of 12
months of good growth, depending on the species of
grass.
Q. How big is a roll of sod and how much does it
weigh?
A. Our regular rolls are 24" wide by 54" long which
will cover 9 square feet. Each of our skids holds
90 rolls which will cover 810 square feet.
Depending on the moisture content, each roll will weight
approximately 40 lbs. or 3600 pounds per skid.
Q. How thick is the sod?
A. The sod thickness depends on the
species of grass, the age of the grass and the cultural
practices that have taken place. Typically the root thickness
varies between ¼"
to ½” , the best way to know for sure
is to call ahead.
Q. What is the height of cut when the sod is shipped
out?
A. The following are our standard cutting heights:
Kentucky Bluegrass 2"
Bentgrass 5/16"
Fescue 2"
Please call our office to
verify specific height of cut for the particular
variety you are interested in.
Q. How do I get your sod?
A. You have three options. We can deliver the sod
directly to your jobsite or home or you can
pickup sod right from our field (please confirm with our
office before arrival) or you can pick up rolls
from our Kettleby office. As sod is highly
perishable, it is always advisable to call ahead
(1-877-727-2100) to confirm availability or to arrange
delivery.
Q. Does the truck come with a forklift to off load?
A. Many of our trucks are equipped with forklifts to off
load at curbside. Smaller orders may be unloaded
by hand.
Q. How much extra sod should I be ordering?
A. If you have been able to measure accurately the area
needing sod, you should not need more than 2% extra for
cutting and trimming.
