EXPERT ANALYSIS
“When possible look to local sources of this shade tolerant sod. Locally grown sod will be best adapted to our climate and sandy soil conditions. Also, locally grown sod does not have to be trucked to our area.”

QUALITY SOD GROWN IN NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA
Use sand-grown sod to ensure that you have the highest quality results. Many golf courses exclusively use sand-grown sod to ensure a mature root system. Other sod brokers often bring in muck grown sod from other areas that have to adapt to our local environment, making it less desirable for your yard.
Our sod is grown in the same soil and weather conditions that are present in the greater North Central Florida region and is the best that is available. Visit our FAQ page to learn more!
