Art's Turf & Sod Sales

Art's Nursery carries fresh, locally grown, high quality sod / turf during the Spring, Summer and early Fall. Each roll is roughly 4 feet long and 2 feet wide and will cover an area of 8-9 square feet.

Turf is highly perishable. Once cut, the average roll must be planted within 3 days or thrown out. As a result, we bring in fresh rolls each friday to ensure maximum freshness and quality for weekend plantings.

When planting, always purchase a few extra rolls to ensure you have enough to finish the job. Any extras can always be used to patch up troubled areas of your existing lawn. Each roll is $3.98

Sod Laying Instructions
1. Till and level the area where sod will be laid
2. Moisten the soil 1 or 2 days in advance of planting
3. Rake the top soil for a final leveling
4. Start laying sod in a straight line ensuring each piece is firmly abutted to its neighbor.
5. Stagger each new row to ensure the connecting area do not form a straight line
6. Once you have completed laying all the sod, use a lawn roller to ensure firm contact between the soil and sod roots. A sod roller is available for rent from Arts.
7. Water the lawn regularly and deeply. Daily for new plantings, less often as the sod matures and begins to establish itself.
8. Do not mow the lawn for at least 3-4 weeks
9. Apply fertilizer during the growing seasons, fall and spring. Newly established sod can benefit from starter fertilizers, that is, ones with more phosphorus, a higher middle number
