Sod
is living turfgrass that has been professionally grown
on our sod farms, which are devoted to this crop. As
professional sod farmers, we sow various lawn
grasses or combinations of grasses, such as hybrid
Bermuda, Centipede,
St. Augustine and several types
of Zoysia, in large fields
and raise sturdy, weed free acres of lawn. The sod
is then harvested by slicing down into the soil an inch or so into the
blanket of living turfgrass plants, and cutting underneath
lengths of this turf to separate it from the soil in
the field. The strips of grass and their roots, with
the moist soil still on them, are carefully rolled or stacked for transportation
to our local distribution center for sale.
A sod carpet of
densely growing turfgrass plants is ready to be immediately
replanted as a permanent lawn. Carefully cut and fitted onto areas of
prepared soil, it creates an almost immediate lawn that needs only regular
watering to encourage grass roots to penetrate the soilbed and become
well established. While it is a little more expensive than grass seed,
there are times when sod is a better choice for the homeowner than grass
seed.
There are certain
situations where turf sod is especially useful:
- Renovating
the Lawn:
Sod
is the best way to replace existing lawns that are mostly tired, thin
grass and lots of weeds. While sod is initially a
little more expensive than grass seed, it saves money usually spent
on weed control, extra fertilizing and overseeding new seeded lawns
their second season.
- Controlling
Soil Erosion:
Sod prevents the erosion of precious topsoil in lawn
areas that are sloped or hilly. It is an immediate solution to rain
runoff and other drainage problems in bare soil.
- Eliminating
Mud on New Properties:
Builders and homeowners alike appreciate an instant lawn that eliminates
the prospect of mud during the many weeks that grass seed takes to
become established.
- Patching
Bare Spots in the Lawn:
Sod can be cut into pieces to quickly repair browned, damaged areas
in the lawn and hard to reach spots. Because its grass plants are
mature, it will establish itself and grow well during the summer months
when seedlings from seed whither and die.
