Team Testimonials
I have been working at Zander Sod for over 15 years. I am a sod installer, involved in projects all over Ontario: From beautiful properties in cottage country to special events in Toronto to the finest golf courses in the province.
Working at Zander Sod is number one in my book. The thing that I really appreciate is the great relationships I have formed with my co-workers in the Turf Services department. It is that special bond that drives our crew to complete our work in a safe, efficient, and professional manner.
