It’s recommended that anyone purchasing sod for their home should choose local, farm-fresh sod.
There are several methods for purchasing sod for your home. Whether you buy it from a store, have it delivered from an online vendor, or get it from a local farm or nursery, it is essential to know the difference between these options and the best option for you. It’s often recommended that anyone purchasing sod for their home should choose local, farm-fresh sod. Let’s go over the benefits of buying local sod.
Fresh Off the Lot
The best option for sod is always fresh—fresh sod is healthy and can be installed quickly to create a stunning lawn instantly. When you order sod from a local farm, it is specifically cut for you, so it hasn’t been in a roll without nutrients for very long by the time it gets to you. The faster it’s installed, the better the result will be. Sod that comes off-the-rack or through delivery services has been rolled for an extended period of time, and the lack of nutrients causes waning health and more significant damage that will require extra work to heal.
Cost-Effective
You might not find discount prices from your local sod farm, but you will find competitive pricing and much healthier sod. Sod should be kept in a roll for as little time as possible to ensure it is installed at its healthiest, but this isn’t possible with store sod or online purchases. These will come in a roll that has traveled long distances and is more vulnerable to damage and disease. This means more work for you, as you must add a lot of nutrients to mitigate damage and get the new sod to a healthy state. It’s also worth noting that purchasing your sod from a local sod farm supports your local economy and benefits everyone in the area.
That Personal Touch
When you purchase sod from a local sod farm, you get the personal touch of dealing directly with experts. They are passionate about their profession, and their knowledge and experience can be invaluable, especially to anyone new to sod. They can offer tricks and tips to make your experience more manageable so you can spend more time enjoying your sod and less time struggling to understand why things aren’t working as expected. If you aren’t keen to do your own install, you can save some time and money by hiring your sod farm to deliver and install your new sod in one fell swoop.
