The size of 1 piece of sod depends on how it’s cut with a sod harvester. Most commercial landscapers prefer squares - which are 2’ x 4’ - and easier for large scale projects, while most homeowners receive slabs - which are 16’’ x 24’’ - which is more suitable in yards containing mulch beds, trees, and sidewalks.

It depends on the sod type. Bermuda, Centipede, and Fescue varieties are cut and stacked at 504 sq. ft per pallet while Zoysia varieties are cut and stacked at 450 sq. ft per pallet.

Yes, there is a minimum order quantity which is currently 3 pallets per customer*. We are working on future solutions for partial pallets or individual sod pieces being purchased.

*minimum quantities help ensure product freshness, consistent quality, and efficient delivery.

This question depends on the time of year you purchased your sod. A general rule of thumb is to ensure your sod gets around 1.5’’ of water per week. Proper watering the first 10-14 days after installation is the most critical window to ensure your grass establishes healthy, deep roots. A rain gauge can be a helpful tool to help you understand how much water you’re getting on your lawn.

Outside of getting new sod rooted and established which may require you to water multiple times throughout the day, we generally recommend to water your grass early in the morning, ideally between 5-9 am, when the air is cooler & wind is calmest. This will help maximize your lawn’s health and save water from evaporation.

No need to worry at all - we’ve got you covered. Once your sod has been laid, we’ll take care of the empty pallets for you. Pallets are collected, recycled, and returned to the farms for reuse, so you don’t have to lift a finger or figure out disposal.

No sweat (literally!) - this happens more often than you’d think. We have a number of preferred vendors that we work closely with and would be happy to put them in touch with you for an estimate - just fill out the information on the contact page and we’ll reach out for next steps.

To ensure your new sod takes root and thrives, you must provide it with a “clean slate.” Proper preparation is considered a key factor for long-term success.

Grasses are broadly categorized into two groups based on temperature tolerance: 

• Cool-Season Grasses: Thriving in northern regions and the Midwest, these grasses grow best between 60°F and 70°F. Common types include Kentucky Bluegrass, Fescues, and Ryegrass.

• Warm-Season Grasses: Suited for the South and West, these thrive in temperatures between 80°F and 95°F and go dormant (turn brown) in winter. Common types include Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and Centipede.

  Consult the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map to see which zone your zone your zip code falls into. A majority of our customers choose a warm-season grass like Zoysia or Bermuda which thrive in Georgia’s climate conditions.

Yes, we sell and deliver sod year-round. Winter installation needs to be monitored to ensure the ground isn’t frozen. Installing in the wintertime also has added benefits including reduced stress (less heat on new sod), less water usage , early establishment, and easier scheduling.
