-
Is There A Guarantee Or Warranty With The Sod?We guarantee that the sod is cut fresh each day and delivered fresh same day. Unfortunately, we cannot offer any warranty on the sod due to many factors that are beyond our control after installation. The vast majority of problems (90%+) with sod are due to a lack of watering immediately after installation. Ensure that your new sod receives adequate irrigation for at least the first three weeks until the sod roots. The more water, the better. Small amounts of watering, where the water does not penetrate through the sod, is inadequate. You should water to the point where you make footprints walking on the sod. If the sod turns brown soon after installation, water very heavily. There is an excellent chance that it will come back with constant, heavy watering for up to three weeks. Sod will shrink very fast in hot weather, even in 3 hours or less, which will create gaps between the rolls. This can not be corrected after the fact, so very heavy watering in warm weather is necessary.
-
Is There A Minimum Amount That I Can Order?No, you can order any quantity of sod on a per roll basis (10 square foot increments). There is no additional cost for any quantity if you pick up directly from the farm. There may be additional delivery and/or install charges on orders of 3 pallets (2100 sq. ft.) of sod or less.

Installations next day or at least within a couple days after ordering. Pick-ups can usually be done same day (call to confirm).

How Much Should I Water The Sod?You should water immediately after installation and continue to water twice a day until ground beneath sod is wet. Watering is most effective in the morning or evening when temperatures are lower. (Note: Sod that is not getting enough water is prone to shrinking and causing gaps between the rolls where they're joined together.)

How Long Can Sod Stay On The Pallet?We recommend laying the sod the same day. Sod may last 24 hours if kept out of the sun.
