Choosing the right sod supplier is the first step to achieving your dream lawn.
It may be bitterly cold outside, but don’t let that stop you from dreaming about how you want to make the property around your home beautiful this year. One of the things that many homeowners dislike about their property the most is the state of the lawn. Sure, you could plant a whole new lawn from seed or simply continue to patch your trouble spots, but the more efficient choice is buying sod, from a reputable sod supplier. When you invest in retail sod, you invest in a healthy, consistent lawn that will help make your property something you’re proud of. Choosing the right sod supplier is the first step to achieving this dream, and the sooner you do it, the better (you can even consider laying sod this winter). Read on for tips to help you find the right sod supplier.
Location
One of the first things that you should consider is the location of your sod supplier, for two reasons: One, sod that is grown locally is likely to do better in your environment than sod that was grown under different conditions. Two, Sod that is grown locally is much more likely to arrive healthy and fresh and be easier to install.
Reputation
Whenever you enter any business relationship, you should always look into the reputation of your potential supplier, and your sod supplier is no different. Once you have some suppliers to consider, ask around about them. Research them on the internet and try to reach out to people who have had business with them.
Selection
Another way to narrow the list of potential sod suppliers is to check their selection. If you know what type of grass you want, say Kentucky bluegrass, and they do not sell it, then they aren’t the right supplier for you.
Quality
The supplier that you choose should also offer high-quality sod. Most places will say they do, so this is where your research comes in handy. If their customers often end up replacing the sod after just a year, then it wasn’t quality sod.
Price
Finally, don’t forget that you’re also price shopping. It is important to get quotes from multiple options and compare them realistically. Don’t automatically go for the cheapest choice, but also keep in mind that you need to stay within your budget.
