You should choose a sod farm that ensures optimal quality, great prices, and a great lawn to enjoy.
Many homeowners and property owners wonder whether there is a difference between buying sod from a third-party retailer and purchasing it directly from a sod farm. A sod farm has dedicated machines and personnel to grow the sod and harvest it on the day of delivery. The sod pallets are fresher, healthier, and more vibrant.
Since you are making an important investment in your property, you should choose a sod farm that ensures optimal quality, great prices, and a great lawn to enjoy.
Fresher Sod
A third-party retailer places orders and stocks sod pallets or rolls. They then ship them to their final destination. That means the sod is not fresh.
For sod to be successfully laid, it must be fresh and moist. Once the sod has been cut, it quickly loses moisture and strength, so it should be laid within 12 hours. When sod pallets are left in the sun, the sod produces nitrogen, which starts decomposing the grass blades. Once this process starts, your sod disintegrates pretty rapidly and starts rotting.
Sod farms harvest sod on the same day when delivery is planned. Thus, the sod is fresh and healthy, vigorous. Healthy sod roots more quickly and establishes itself faster. That means you will be able to walk on your sod and enjoy a lush green lawn within days of installation.
Gives You More Time to Install Your Sod
While sod can’t stay on a pallet for days, you have a few more hours to lay it on the ground when you know it has arrived as fresh as it gets.
Sod can stay for 12 hours before it starts to rot. When it’s been cut fresh, the extra hours you get before this happens mean the crew can take their time installing the rod properly. Instead of rushing to finish the job, they can take extra care around corners and edges, laying it as smoothly as possible.
Sod Farmers are Knowledgeable
An experienced sod farm has been growing sod with professional care for years. They can give you valuable tips and advise you on which sod type to choose, how to care for your newly laid sod, and which fertilizer you need.
A good sod farm will also guide you on how much to water your new sod and how frequently and when you should mow your new lawn. The more information you get, the sooner your project development will see the benefits. Your sod will look fresh and healthy, and your investment will increase in value.
