Sod for Sun
Kentucky Bluegrass

With our many years in the turfgrass sod business, we have found it best to use a multiple variety seed that is also tested for purity and cleanliness. Our sun sod mix has 4 different varieties of bluegrass in it. Ideally suited to our Minnesota climate. This mix is for areas that receive 3 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. The varieties we use are all dwarf-type blue grasses. This means remarkably less mowing for you. This sod is suitable for normal lawn and high traffic athletic use situations. These are the same types used on professional sports fields. Harvested with our automatic self-stacking harvester. The rolls produced by this machine are cut 2'X5' (10 sq. feet) and are stacked 68 rolls per pallet (680 sq. feet).

Dirt

Black Dirt

We have dirt available for delivery or pick-up Monday through Friday. Our dirt is not pulverized but it does not have any big rocks in it. We can load the dirt into your vehicle with a bobcat scoop which comes to about 2/3 of a yard. We can also load a full yard if you need that. You can also fill a 5 gallon bucket if you only need a small amount. We recommend putting 2-4 inches of black dirt down before you lay your sod, to get the full benefit.
