WHY YOU SHOULD BUY SAND BASED SOD 

2/22/2017

0 Comments

 

When buying sod in Central and South Florida, you will run into two different bases soil wise: Sand based or Muck based. We get a lot of questions over the phone about which is better for our customers, and here is why we think sand based is far better for your Central and South Florida lawn:

Most of Florida has sand based soil, which is what we deliver. Muck based soil is really only found around Lake Okeechobee and is typically used for farming. When harvesting the sod and transplanting it into your lawn, the more similar the soil, the better your new sod will acclimate and thrive. If you used muck based sod, the roots wouldn't have much incentive to leave that nutrient rich muck and travel down into your sand based soil. The deeper the root system, the more drought tolerant your lawn will be. The more drought tolerant your lawn, the less water you will need to use to irrigate it. This saves not only your wallet, but helps the environment, as well!

Muck oxidizes over time, which means that it shrinks. This will leave unsightly gaps in your lawn. You will need to then fill these gaps with additional sod and soil… yet another added expense.

Muck based sod will show up looking green and lush, but over time, it will decline as the sod is not used to sand based soil.

We all know that your landscape is more than just trees and flowers. Having a solid turf foundation is important to the overall look of your lawn. Lawns not only increase the aesthetic and economic value of the landscape, they also provide recreational surfaces for outdoor activities, filter pollutants and provide oxygen to our environment. Understanding which turfgrass to install for your lawn is critical to its success; however, it is also complicated.

Do you have a preference for texture? Is your lawn full of sun or mostly shady throughout the day? How bug resistant is the sod? How much maintenance will the sod need? What is the amount of sod I need? How do you take care of the newly installed sod?  These are just a few questions that homeowners should ask themselves when deciding on what sod is best for them.

Our knowledgeable staff can help you answer all of these questions and ensure you get the correct type of sod for your lawn. With competitive pricing, prompt delivery and satisfaction driven customer service – SOD MASTERS is the only one you need to make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood!
