About Zander Sod
Providing top quality sod for properties across Ontario since 1957.
Quality. Service. Value.
Fred Zander started Zander Sod Co. Limited when sod was harvested, loaded, and unloaded by hand!
Nowadays, we have automated harvesters that cut, roll, and pile the sod directly onto skids. We have forklifts to load sod onto trucks, automatic tarping systems on our trailers, and truck-mounted forklifts to efficiently offload products at the homes and businesses of our customers. Times have certainly changed.
As much as technology has changed our business, three constants over the years have been our dedication to providing quality turf, exceptional customer service, and great value for our customers.
From our offices in King, Ontario — North of Toronto and slightly West of Newmarket — we’re able to provide a convenient, central location for sod pick up and delivery across Southern Ontario.
The Highest Quality Sod
TWCA Certified
The sod we provide homes and businesses is a Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA) product. The TWCA prides itself on using peer-reviewed, objective data to produce the most drought-tolerant turfgrass possible.
You can be assured that the sod you purchase from our farm will not only make your outdoor space look beautiful, but it will also be the most environmentally friendly sod available.
Green Certified
The Nursery Sod Growers Association provides a Green Certification to growers like Zander Sod who are able to pass a third-party auditing program dedicated to identifying companies who are adhering to the best management and sustainability practices for natural grass sod production.
A Great Work Environment
We’re firm believers that when people enjoy what they do and are treated well, everyone wins. We believe that’s what led to our becoming a multigenerational business with team members who have been here 40+ years and one who’s been around for over 50 years!
