HD2000 Kentucky Bluegrass Sod – Central Sod Farms

How much for 20 rolls of sod? I have an area 10 x 17.

We currently charge $4 a roll picked up at our farm, so you would be looking at about $80. Thanks!

Is it to late to fertilize? If not what kind do you recommend if I installed the Kentucky Bluegrass in July?

(Asked Nov 15th) It is likely too late... Early November is the latest that we would recommend fertilizing cool season turfgrass in the Mid-Atlantic. (Also if you are in Maryland, then Nov 15th is the last day you can legally fertilize). I would be sure to fertilize first thing in the spring... I personally use the Turftrust Fertilizer we have on our website but you can also use any quality lawn fertilizer. Thanks!

My yard is 75 feet long and 24 feet wide. How much sod do i need from Central Sod farms?

You would want to order about 1900 square feet. Your area is exactly 1800 square feet but you would want to order a little bit extra to account for cutting around the edges. Thanks!

How long do you recommend keeping dogs/kids off of it

You can walk on it lightly immediately after installation, but you would want to wait at least 2 weeks for heavy traffic and dog use. Thanks!

Is it too late to put down sod in early November in the Chicago area?

You can install Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue year round.

Im looking to lay kentucky bluegrass in my yard. I currently have a PH of about 8.0 do i need to add some sulfur or aluminum sulfate to lower the PH before i lay the sod or is it ok to lay it on very alkaline soil?

I would recommend lowering the ph to around 7. Since this is quite a big change I would recommend using elemental sulfur. Make sure that you till the sulfur into the soil after you broadcast it, ideally to a depth of 5-6" inches. Thanks!

HOW MUCH SOD TO COVER 18 FT ROUND WHERE A POOL WAS THANK YOU

You would need about 300 square feet to cover that area (assuming 18 feet is the diameter of the circle). Thanks!

how many sq foot of sod do I need for a yard 20feet long and 20 feet wide

You would need 400 square feet of sod for this area. Thanks!

How much sod do I need for a 20 foot x20 foot area?

You would need 400 square feet of sod (40 rolls). Thanks!

Do you install the sod?

We do not install... But if you give our office a call we would be happy to refer you to a contractor in your area. Thanks!

I had grub in my yard last year and I laid chemicals to try and get rid of them during last summer. I'm going to be laying all new sod down soon and was wondering if that would be a good idea given that I don't know if they are completely gone from my la

It is safe to install new sod. A combination of the chemical from last summer and the tilling that you do before installing the sod this spring will ensure that they are not an issue. You still may want to apply grub control each summer as a preventative though. Thanks!

What is the size of a roll of Kentucky Blue Grass? Thank you!

They measure 2 feet by 5 feet. (total of 10 square feet per roll). Thanks!

My plan is to sod my lawn with Kentucky Blue Grass. Do you think it would be okay to use Black Beauty on the parkway side which is totally separate from my lawn?

Yes that would be fine... The two look very similar. Black Beauty has slightly coarser texture but is only noticeable if they are very close to each other. Thanks!

What's the size and thickness of each sod

The thickness of each type is a uniform 1.25 inches (which is about 3/4 inch of soil and 1/2 an inch of root material / thatch). The cool season sod (Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue) are cut in rolls that measure 2'x5' feet (total of 10 square feet per roll). The warm season sod (Bermuda and Zoysia) are cut in 18" x 40" inch pieces (total of 5 square feet).

How does your sod differ from the sod they sell at Home Depot and Lowes?

We are the producer and cut the sod fresh, meaning that it has a much better chance of survival once planted! Thanks!

Can I lay sod right over existing lawn covered with patches of grass and various weed or do I need to dig up all of the junk first?

It is best to remove the old plant material... If you lay sod directly on top it will create an air pocket over the dead grass and prevent the new sod from taking root. Thanks!

How Many Rolls Are On Each Pallet?

60 rolls that are 10 square feet each... Thanks!

After installing Kentucky Blue Grass sod when should I first cut the grass?

You can cut it as soon as it needs mowing, but make sure not to removed more than 1/3rd of the grass blade each time you mow. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

I have a big tree that gives pretty good shade I cant tell you what percentage. Do I order black beauty for that section and the rest Kentucky blue? Live in Elk Grove Village, IL Thank you.

I would recommend using Black Beauty for the entire area. The two textures would not match well and the lawn would look nicer if it was all Black Beauty. Thanks!

How many rolls would I need to get 1461 yards?

You would need 1,315 rolls to cover this area. (13,150 square feet). This equates to about 1 and a half tractor trailer loads of sod. Thanks!

what prep work is recommended for the soil prior to installing sod?

Currently you have black beauty sod out of stock.I have bushes along the side of my house and got rid of a pine tree. That part is at least 90% sun now since the tree is gone. The rest receives 80 to 85% sun. Can I order bluegrass so I don't have to wait

Yes bluegrass will do well in that area. Thanks!

Hi. I have tilled my yard and raked my yard. How do I level my soil before I lay the sod.

It is best to use a wide metal landscape rake. The large width will help you level out any low or high areas. Thanks!

I have an area 18 x8 and 24x8 how sod would I need ?

You need about 350 square feet (35 rolls) to cover that area. Thanks!

I have a 15x42 space how much sod do I need

You need 630 square feet to cover that area (63 rolls of sod) Thanks!

I have a area that's 30x30 and a area 12x12 how much sod will I need ? And which sod will I need the bigger area has a lot of sun and the smaller area has a little shade. Thanks for you help

You need about 1100 square feet to cover that area, and I would recommend using the DuraBlend Tall Fescue (it does well in both full sun and partial shade). Thanks!

My back yard is complete shade all day will sod work for me or do you have any recommendation. Right now it is all mud no grass at all.ThanksEd

Thanks for the questions! The only thing you might try is some of the "shade mix" seed we have for sale on the website. The most shade tolerant grass we sell as sod is the Tall Fescue, but even that must have at least a few hours of sunlight each day to do well.

Would it be best to cut out the existing lawn before tilling? My lawn is mostly crabgrass right now. If I use a vegetation killer as you suggest in your prep instructions, how long should I wait before laying new sod?

If you have a very thick cover of weeds, it is best if you use a sod cutter to cut them out. If you end up spraying them you should wait a week for the weeds to start to die. This ensures that the chemical has enough time to get to the roots and fully kill the weed. Let me know if you have any other questions! -Jack
