- 60% Perennial Ryegrasses
- 30% Fescues (Creeping Red or Otherwise)
- 10% Kentucky Bluegrasses
It’s the perfect blend for our climate on Vancouver Island!
What’s the size of River Meadow sod and turf rolls and how thick is it?
We cut our sod and turf into 18 by 80 inches each, or 10 square feet per roll. The soil base is about 1/2″ to 3/4″ in thickness.
Do you require a pallet deposit?
We don’t have any deposits required for pallets right now.
What’s the difference between sod and turf?
Sod and turf are both terms used to describe the same product: an upper layer of soil that we grow quality grass on and harvest in the form of rolls for your lawn. There’s no meaningful difference, we simply refer to our product using both terms to help as many customers as possible find us. You can use whichever terminology you prefer, and we’ll get you the same great grass for your lawn!
How soon should I install my sod?
For best results, install fresh sod within 24 hours of pickup or delivery. Because we cut to order, your turf arrives fresh and ready to lay.
When should I water newly installed sod?
Water newly installed sod immediately after installation. The sod should be saturated through its full thickness, and the soil underneath should be moist to a depth of about 2.5 cm, or 1 inch. See our full Watering Tips For A Perfect Lawn.
How much should I water new sod?
For the first few days, apply about 2.5 cm, or 1 inch, of water each day. Ideally, you want the sod to be perfectly damp. You can lift the corner to check dampness, and a little dryer is better than too wet. If the sod turns yellow, water less.
