You can choose the grass type and blend, growing medium, root zone fibre reinforcement, thickness (up to 3/4-1 inch), as well as the final cutting height at delivery time.
We can create a custom turf blend from any of the seeds that we use, or we can use the seed and growing products that you provide to us. To grow quality custom sod, please plan ahead for 8 to 12 months depending on the type of grass.
