Healthy Kentucky Bluegrass Sod
By combining close to 70 years of knowledge and an open mind to new innovative techniques, our Kentucky bluegrass sod is produced according to our high standards, starting with the soil even before the seed is in the ground! This produces a healthy, consistent quality product for you to enjoy! We accomplish this through:
-
Crop rotation and cover crops
-
Letting fields “rest” for a season with no crops at all
-
Adding organic matter
These steps keep the soil naturally refreshed with optimum nutrient levels.
Our seed varieties are hand-picked for their:
-
Aggressive growth
-
Disease resistance
-
Lush colour
-
Drought resistance
Our management practices, coupled with our standard for quality seed, produce healthy, consistent, optimal products for you to enjoy! We also offer ground preparation, fine grading and seeding services.

Deep, rich, emerald colour

Ability to form strong sod with its underground stems
-
Tolerance to Ontario’s varied and unpredictable weather
-
Excellent wear tolerance for high-traffic areas
