  • What type of sod is best for my lawn?

    The best type depends on your location, sunlight exposure, soil type, and lawn use. Common options include Kentucky Bluegrass, Texas Bluegrass, Fescue, or hybrid cool-season grass and Fescue blends. According to the EPA, sod can significantly reduce erosion—potentially by up to 99%—making it a smart and environmentally friendly choice for your lawn.
