This is the time of year when we receive a lot of questions regarding the best time of the year to lay sod.  We also know that its when most customers are planning their projects for the coming spring.  Below are some important thing to consider before starting your project. 

     Yes, we sell sod year round and it can be installed virtually any time during the year.  One of the big advantages to laying this time of year is that you can ease into your watering schedule once things start to green up. Its also cooler during the day so its less strenuous on you. On the other hand, the sod this time of year can be harder to handle.  It will typically be heavier, a little more brittle, and slightly more inconsitent due to wetter ground conditions.

     The most important thing to consider when planning this time of year is that there comes a period of time, usually sometime in late March, that we almost completely stop cutting pallets.  This usually last about 6 weeks and ends sometime around the first or second week of May.  During the green up process, the grass gets extremely brittle and falls apart during harvesting.  It creates an enormous amount of waste for us and our customers get a product that they will not be happy with.  We don't know exactly when this will begin or when it will end, but it is something that we deal with every year,  Unfortunately, it happens when most customers want to start their spring yardwork.  At Kellum Sod Farm, we take too much pride in our product to sell something that we know you wouldn't be happy with.  During this time, we normally have a waitlist for pick-up and delivery orders start to fill up fast for the middle of May through the first of July.  

      As always, feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.  Thank you for choosing us!
