We carry a premium Tall Fescue blend grown specifically for lawns in Richmond, Midlothian, and throughout the central Virginia region. Sod grown with the regional climate in mind is easier to maintain and treat than other grass blends – that means your turf will look fantastic for years to come.

Sod is available at our nursery locations from early spring until late fall. We recommend installing sod when the temperatures are cooler so the grass can stay moist and root more easily. Freshly installed sod must be kept consistently moist but not soggy for two weeks after installation – we recommend watering for 15 minutes twice a day for best results.

Our sod is cut fresh and arrives to our nursery locations on Thursday afternoons. Sod is available for purchase but we recommend calling ahead and placing a preorder if a large quantity is needed. Preordered sod will be placed ahead for pickup on Thursday afternoons. To place a preorder, call the nursery at 804-378-0700.

Sod comes in each week on Thursday afternoon. Due to high demand, we strongly encourage ordering in advance. You can order by calling our office at 804-378-0700. Orders received prior to Tuesday at 10 AM should be available for pickup or delivery the same week.

Sod is available year round but availability may be affected during extreme heat or cold. Call for an update during these periods. Sod may be delayed due to weather conditions.

We offer wholesale pricing to licensed contractors and businesses. Please fill out our contractor form to register your business and start taking advantage of contractor pricing.
