Dimensions: Our
palletized (small rolls) sod is in 1.5 yard rolls that are 24"
wide x 81" long. Twenty years of experience has proven these lay faster with less
seams and gaps. |

Peat Sod:
After growing quality Hybrid Kentucky Bluegrass Sod for 20 years we have developed through
test plots a blend that is both shade tolerant and disease resistant. We can stack
81 square
yards per pallet fitting as much as 22 pallets on a truck depending on the weight of the sod. That
means we can deliver up to 1782sy on one truck. |
|
Mineral
Sod: Now available at all three farms. We use the same high quality
seed blend grown on a sandy loam soil. Although mineral sod is much
heavier we cut the same 1.5 square yard roll to save the number of trips
from the pallet to the ground. Due to the increased weight of mineral sod we can only stack
75 square yards per pallet, up to 22 pallets per truck = 1650sy. |
|
Delivery: Our fleet of eight trucks stands ready to deliver
up to 2.3 acres of sod each morning to any location in MN, IA, ND & SD.
Albert Lea and Sebeka each have trucks available for delivery within their area. Our trucks are
equipped with radios and are in excellent shape preventing breakdowns and lost trucks. |
 |
Teledyne Service: We do have portable
forklift service available. This can free your crew to work while we
make deliveries to homeowners or builders. The amount of sod we can with the
forklift is cut short by two pallets per load. There is only one teledyne for each
farm, and more time is taken to unload using the forklift so please schedule early if you
need it. |

Bigroll
Sod: Our bigroll sod
is cut 30" wide and 126' long making a 35sy roll that lays easily and quickly.
Central Turf Farms does not use netting to hold our rolls together. We use expensive
harvesters to ensure the tightest roll possible without tearing the sod for the
landscaper. Some rolls claim to be 42" wide however, these rolls are usually split
into two 21" rolls put together. 42" rolls take more work because each roll must
be pulled into place twice. 42" rolls are also more awkward in tight areas. An
average truck load of bigrolls has fifty (50) rolls or 1750sy and one wire mesh box to
carry the empty plastic tubes once the sod has been laid. |
|
Hot Sod: Sod is a perishable product.
When the grass dies it begins to decompose creating heat and a stench
within the roll. This heat will kill all the grass blades next to it
finally expanding until the pallet actually smokes. We recommend installing
it within 24 hours of delivery. To keep the grass from dying we suggest laying it
completely after receiving it. Sometimes that isn't always possible due to the weather.
Rather than putting down one pallet at a time, install everything down to the pieces that
lie flat off each pallet if you are running out of time that day. This does not guarantee
the sod will not heat, but it will prolong the shelf life a few hours.
