Frequently Asked Questions

How many square feet are on a pallet of sod? How many pieces in a pallet? What is the measurement of each square on the pallet?
400 sq. ft. - 150 pieces-- 2ft. x 16 inches wide
How do I figure out how much sod I need? How many pallets?
Measure the length times your width to give you the square feet. Divide this figure into 400 to give the number of pallets needed.
Do I need an irrigation system?
Yes, we recommend the use of an irrigation system for every type of sod, with the exception of Bahia sod. All newly installed sod needs water during the initial establishing period 8-10 days after installation.
Do I need to kill my existing sod to do a yard replacement? Should I put down top soil & fertilize before installing a new yard?
Yes, we recommend a kill of the old grass- installing a new lawn on bare ground. No, top soil is not necessary. Sometimes a PH test is required and nutrient deficiencies can be corrected chemically. Fertilizer needs to be applied approximately 10 days after lawn is installed.
What variety of sod should I purchase?
The answer to this question depends on lots of variables—your location, principle use, irrigation system, sun & shade exposure and maintenance requirements.
