From Farm to Yard: Benefits of Direct Sod Delivery in Central Florida

Posted by Joe Mouad on May 28, 2024 9:45:00 AM

Your grass isn’t great, and it’s starting to get on your nerves.

Maybe you’ve been putting off getting a new sod lawn because it’s a whole big thing.

Actually, it’s not a whole big thing. You can arrange fresh sod delivery and installation right from your phone. It’s almost as easy as ordering tacos from your favorite restaurant, or shoes online.

That’s right. You can sit on your porch wearing new shoes munching tacos and watch your new lawn arrive.

Why choose direct sod delivery? Lots of reasons:

It’s the Freshest, Healthiest Sod

The last time you popped over to a big box home store, did you happen to notice carts of sod sitting out in the sun?

Yikes. How long has it been sitting there, drying out? Sod has a super short shelf life. As soon as it’s lifted out of the ground, it wants to be back in the ground again, nestled into damp soil and drinking water.

The longer your sod is out of the ground, the more stressed it gets. Fast, efficient sod delivery and installation is crucial.

Even some sod installers might pick up sod from the farm then store it overnight, or over the weekend, and water it to keep the top pieces green. When temperatures heat up the grass will become hot and diseased.

Ground Source sod is cut fresh the day it’s scheduled for sod delivery.

As soon as your sod is cut at the sod farm, it’s loaded onto a truck and headed to your house. It’s not stashed on a pallet somewhere baking in the sun.

Bonus: Our sod provider uses an expensive webworm preventative, to keep the sod free of those summer-time damaging pests. You know your sod is fresh and healthy.

You want the healthiest sod — ready to take root, thrive, and make your property look fantastic.

Direct Sod Delivery Is Super Easy

Order fresh new sod on the Ground Source website, answering a few easy questions about your yard’s sunlight, foot traffic and maintenance needs to help you choose the sod variety that’s right for your property.

Want the sod delivered to you so you can install it yourself? Done.


Hmmm, does that sound like way too much work? You don’t really want to get those new shoes dirty? No problem. Arrange for the professional Ground Source crews who pick up your sod to install it for you. More time for eating tacos.

Orlando Sod Delivery Includes Lots of Choices

When you buy sod off a cart, you’re limited to whatever variety they’re selling.

But there are lots of different types of grass, each particularly suited to certain conditions and environments.

Is your yard sunny? St. Augustine Floratam is a winner, and the most common type of sod installation in Central Florida.

Celebration Bermuda has great wear tolerance, which makes it good for yards busy with sports and pets.

ProVista is engineered to be slow-growing, which means less mowing.

You get the idea. The perfect sod is out there for you, so don’t just settle for what’s handy.

The Ground Source website walks you through all this, helping you narrow in on what sod variety is right for you. Then, you can order that specific variety and schedule your direct sod delivery. Super easy.

Pro Tip: Check Your Irrigation System Before Fresh Sod Delivery

Your new sod will need lots of water over the first few weeks.

You don’t want to find out after your sod delivery and installation that you have broken heads, a zone that doesn’t work, or controller problems.

You want to know that now, so you can have any problems repaired before your sod delivery.

How Much Does it Cost to Replace Artificial Turf With New Sod?

Artificial turf is having a moment lately, but it’s not good.

More and more municipalities are banning or considering banning the use of this always-green turf, because it’s not great for the environment.

There’s increasing concern that the runoff from artificial grass is toxic, containing chemicals and heavy metals that can contaminate waterways, soil and air. The pushback from environmentalists and community residents is growing.

Is it time to ditch your synthetic turf? How do you change fake grass to real grass?
