Sod is grass that has already been grown and harvested with its roots and a thin layer of soil surface. It gives you an instant lawn without waiting for seeds to sprout. Unlike planting turf grass seeds, sod creates quick ground cover and reduces erosion right after installation.

Which types of sod do you offer in Colorado?

We grow several options that fit the Colorado climate. Bluegrass Sod is our most popular choice for lawns because it is hardy and holds color through the growing season. Fescue Sod does well in shade, while Bentgrass Sod T-1 is often used for golf courses and professional jobs. Each is harvested fresh and cut into rolls or pallets for easy sod installation.

Is bluegrass sod drought-tolerant and low-maintenance?

Yes. Bluegrass sod is bred to be drought-tolerant and resistant to many diseases. Once it has developed strong roots, it stays healthy with less irrigation compared to most grasses. To help the lawn maintain color and strength, many homeowners improve their soil with fertilizer and amendments and follow seasonal lawn care practices in Colorado that match the local climate.

How does sod compare to warm season grasses like bermuda grass or zoysia?

Bluegrass sod is a cool-season turf that thrives in Colorado’s climate. Warm season options such as bermuda grass and zoysia perform better in southern states like Texas or Georgia where summers are longer. Sod also saves weeks of waiting compared to planting bulk grass seed, which makes it popular for lawns, sports stadiums, and golf courses.

What is the best month to lay sod?

In Colorado, the best time for sod installation is spring or early fall. These seasons provide mild temperatures and steady moisture, which help roots establish quickly in the soil surface. Laying sod in midsummer is possible, but it often needs more irrigation and frequent mowing. Preparing your lawn with spring green-up for Colorado lawns is one way homeowners help grass stay healthy and ready for planting.

Can I just lay sod over dirt?

Sod needs direct contact with prepared soil to grow well. While you can place sod over dirt, it will only thrive if the soil surface is loosened and enriched with topsoil or compost. Adding organic matter improves root access to nutrients and water. Many gardeners improve their soil with bagged compost before laying sod, which helps the grass stay healthy and establish faster.

Can you just lay sod over existing grass?

Placing sod over existing grass is not recommended because the roots will struggle to connect with the soil. Old grass and weeds create a barrier that prevents proper installation. For the best results, remove the existing layer and prepare the ground with soil amendments that encourage root growth. Some homeowners also use mulch to improve soil conditions and reduce erosion during the process.

How much sod do I need for my lawn and how many rolls are on a pallet?

One roll of sod usually covers about 9 square feet. A full pallet contains 45 rolls and covers 405 square feet of yard space. Our bluegrass sod is harvested in rolls and pallets for easier planting. Since lawn sizes and soil conditions vary, you can contact us for help with measurements or to confirm how many pallets you’ll need.

How soon should sod be installed after delivery?

Sod should be installed the same day it is delivered. Fresh sod is a living plant, and the roots need quick contact with the soil surface to survive. If left too long on a pallet, rolls can overheat and dry out. Using a sod knife makes cutting and fitting easier during installation, while proper irrigation ensures the sod establishes roots within weeks.

How much does it cost to deliver sod?

The cost of sod delivery in Colorado depends on the location, number of pallets, and size of the order. Delivery is usually combined with the sod price and is based on mileage and quantity. Larger orders, like multiple pallets, may lower the cost per square foot compared to smaller ones. Homeowners often schedule sod delivery together with other heavy goods such as soils and mulches to save on freight.
