Why River Meadow Turf & Sod?

Cut To Order For Peak Freshness: All of our turf and sod orders are always ‘cut to order’ to guarantee peak freshness when you receive it.
45+ Years Of Experience: We’ve been in business growing turf and sod on Vancouver Island for over 45 years, while continuing to innovate our growing and cutting process for the best results every single year.

Our cream of the crop Premium Turf & Sod grown on Vancouver Island is available for just $1.09 per square foot or $10.90 per roll — it’s the best of the best on our fields at a great price! Contact us for wholesale pricing.
With Premium Turf & Sod from River Meadow Farms you’ll always get a vibrant, healthy looking, weed free lawn with no large bare patches or wild grasses from field edges!
Turf & Sod Pickup or Delivery
The best way to get your Turf & Sod is to pick it up yourself at our farm location just a few minutes from downtown Courtenay! Pickup allows you to choose your own schedule and gets you the best savings as delivery can be costly.
Our 40″ x 48″ pallets fit most pickup trucks and hold up to 50 rolls (500 sq. ft.). Each individual roll covers 10 sq. ft. (18″ x 80″) and weighs between 25 and 40 lbs, depending on how much water the product is holding.
If pickup is not possible, we also offer delivery with a full-sized truck starting at $220 to many communities on central Vancouver Island including Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Parksville, Qualicum, Union Bay, and Bowser. We’ll unload the pallets and place them where you need them. Contact us today to arrange an easy delivery straight to your home or business.
We also welcome Turf & Sod pickup customers from farther communities such as Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Duncan, Gold River, Powell River, Denman Island, Hornby Island, and Quadra Island. Unfortunately, we are often unable to arrange delivery to these more distant locations due to time constraints, but feel free to inquire if it is important to you.
