Our sod doesn’t only look greener, it’s healthier. Zander Sod not only prides itself in supplying the best turf, but also ensuring that the soil and environment stays healthy for generations to come. With the assistance of an agronomist, Zander Sod utilizes a complete soil management program that addresses the micro nutrient levels in both the soil and the plants. From seed bed preparation right through to harvest, we continuously monitor and adjust to produce only the highest quality grasses.
Growing a turf that is suitable to your hardiness zone is essential to having a healthy green lawn that is disease resistant and winter hardy.
Zander Sod’s Number 1 Kentucky Bluegrass is the most popular choice for residential and commercial lawns, sports fields and parks.
Zander Sod Extreme Fescue is a superior combination of very highly ranked grasses in the NTEP trials. Creeping Red Fescue complimented with Chewing Fescue and a little Kentucky Bluegrass to give some soil strength for harvesting. Our Extreme Fescue sod is low maintenance requiring less fertilizer and irrigation. While all grasses require some sunlight to grow our Extreme Fescue blend is a little more shade tolerant than Kentucky Bluegrass. Characteristics:
