DID YOU KNOW

Grass is Good - Grass absorbs greenhouse gas and converts it into life-giving oxygen. Grass does this at a much higher rate than native plants because grass has higher leaf density and a faster growth rate. A 2500 square foot lawn converts enough carbon dioxide into oxygen to sustain a family of four!

NATURES

Air Conditioner - On a hot summer day, lawns will typically be 30 degrees cooler than asphalt, 14 degrees cooler than bare soil and a huge 35 degrees cooler than artificial turf! Aside from just creating a comfortable setting, grass also reduces energy demand by lowering the ambient temperature around a home.

PURIFIES

Water - Turf (grass) roots act as a natural environmental filter, and in combination with soil biology make lawn root zones an ideal medium for the biodegradation of contaminants that are carried in runoff water.

KENTUCKY

Mulch

Why use mulch? Mulch is used normally as a decorative ground cover; however, mulch helps to retain moisture for plants and acts as erosion control during heavy rain. Mulch is also a natural weed barrier because it doesn’t allow sunlight through it. Mulch keeps temperatures in the soil moderate during hot summer days and it protects many plants during winter. One additional benefit of mulch is that it eventually breaks down and enriches the soil.


WHEN SHOULD I MULCH?

Typically, spring is the best time to install mulch as a good weed barrier. Installing 2 to 3 inches of mulch is normally recommended but a 3 to 4 inch layer is necessary for new areas to aid with moisture retention. A general rule is one cubic yard covers approximately 100 square feet at 3 to 4 inches deep.

ARE DYED MULCHES SAFE TO USE?

Yes. The dyes in mulch are nontoxic iron oxide, which are found naturally in the earth’s surface. It is safe for children, animals and plants. When the mulch is wet it can leave stains on concrete driveways and clothing.

HOW DO I SETUP A DELIVERY

The best way is to contact our office at 815-332-2144, so we can schedule your mulch or soil delivery. We have flexible hours for delivery so we can work with you on times and days.

DO I NEED TO BE HOME FOR MY DELIVERY?

No. Just let us know ahead of time so our delivery drivers are aware of the situation. Please make sure to be precise on the delivery location so our drivers can drop the delivery in the location you want.

Straw blanket is straw in a thin layer held together by plastic net. 75 is net just on top, 150 is net on top and bottom of the straw and made for higher velocity water erosion control. Netting should be removed after seed has emerged so it does not get pulled up in the mower. Blanket is stapled to ground with steel or plastic staples. This holds it to the ground from blowing and erosion 75 single net Rolls come in 7.5’ wide by length Sq Ft. Each roll takes about staples. 150 double net rolls come in 7.5’ wide by length covering Sq Feet.

STRAW Bales - Straw Bales can be broken and sprinkled over the seed. Needs to be watered to keep from blowing. Good for level ground or areas without a lot of water running over it like ditches where a blanket with netting is better.

EZ Mulch - 50# bag covers Sq Feet - Easy to transport, and spread. Does a good job in holding moisture and preventing erosion on flat areas.

WHY ARE MOST LAWNS NOW SODDED?

Yes, a professional sod lawn needs no special care because it is a healthy mature lawn when installed, whereas a sprigged or seeded lawn requires years of nurturing to reach maturity. Sod is grown under expert supervision from either top quality seed blends or certified hybrid sprigs. After it's been installed, just water, mow and fertilize your sod lawn as needed and it will remain a healthy, green carpet of grass, requiring very little maintenance.

WHERE CAN I USE SOD?

Sod can be installed practically anywhere, even where seeding is impossible or too costly. Sod is often used to stop soil erosion and water pollution on slopes where rain would wash away both seed and soil.

Sod is available in a variety of grass blends to suit various needs such as climate, amount of usage, sun and shade conditions.

CAN SOD WITHSTAND HEAVY USAGE?

Certainly! Sod establishes itself quickly. In a couple of weeks, it's ready for full use. It creates the perfect surface for lawn games and family outdoor living. With today's various blends of hardy grasses, sod is chosen for parks, golf courses, athletic fields, as well as residential homes and business parks.

WHEN CAN I INSTALL SOD?

Sod has revolutionized the lawn business! Now you can install a sod lawn anytime during the year when the ground can be tilled. There is no need to wait for the "right" season to put in your lawn.

IS SOD A GOOD INVESTMENT?

Yes -- it's the only way to go -- from bare soil to lush, green lawn in just hours. Yet, it's relatively inexpensive to use. In the few hours it takes to install your sod lawn, your property value increases significantly and even more in aesthetic value.

HOW WILL SOD AFFECT OUR ENVIRONMENT?

With today's ecological concerns, many more people are considering sod for its environmental benefits.

Sod cools and cleans the atmosphere by reflecting the sun's heat and absorbing noises, carbon dioxide and other harmful pollutants. It releases valuable oxygen and moisture into the air we breath. As it grows, sod silently contributes to a healthier environment.

Sod lawns meet the needs of today's fast-paced, demanding lifestyle.

HOW IS SOD RELATED TO OUR LIFESTYLE?

Today we expect convenience, efficiency and quality in our products. Buildings are going up almost overnight and attractive landscaping is installed in hours. Why wait 1 or 2 years for a new lawn to struggle to maturity when you can have a beautiful sod lawn complimenting your buildings right now. That high quality sod lawn can be conveniently installed in hours, at a surprisingly low cost.
