HOW TO ORDER
PALLETS
For orders over 400 SF, small rolls are loaded onto pallets to make pickup/delivery easier and more efficient. You do not have to purchase full pallets: we price by the square foot, or by the roll.
We are happy to load smaller orders onto your truck to avoid pallet returns. Each pallet of small rolls contains 400 to 700 SF (40 to 70 rolls), and weighs 2,000 – 3,500 lbs. per pallet. Pallets cost $30 each, to be refunded when returned in good condition.
*Please return to Raspberry Rd. or Palmer locations for credit: call or leave a note with your name on the pallets.

INSTALLATION TIPS
How should I prepare an area for installation and then lay the sod?
For best results, sod needs 4″ to 6″ of topsoil. Compacted soils are too hard to allow roots to penetrate, and loose soil makes an uneven lawn: a firm bed of soil that you can walk across without leaving deep footprints is a good firmness.
Around walkways, driveways, or other borders, make sure to bring the surface of the soil to around 3/4″ below the border: that way, when you lay the sod, the surfaces will be level & won’t pose a tripping hazard.
If your previous lawn struggled or died, the best practice is to find out why and correct the problem before you buy sod. Get a soil test, see a fertilizer retailer or contact the University of Alaska Cooperative Extension Service for recommendations.
Sod is best laid in a brick pattern. Be sure not to overlap the edges of adjacent pieces: this will result in an uneven surface. Snug the pieces together firmly, and you’ll have a smooth lawn that doesn’t show seams.
Our big rolls, 2′ by 50′, have less seams and install quickly: roll them out in the same direction each time for best results.
Annual soil testing is recommended to bring pH and fertility to optimum levels.
Grass killed by animal urine will likely need to be replaced. Place a new piece of sod over the affected area and cut out the outline with a serrated knife or flat shovel. Dig up the affected area about 3 inches deep and replace with new soil leaving room for the new sod to match the surrounding area. Place the new sod and water to re-hydrate.
