We offer expert installation for any type of project. The same crews that install sod for the Super Bowl or World Series use the same care to install your turf quickly and dependably.
The terms sprigs and stolons are used interchangeably, referring to pieces of aboveground or belowground grass stems for creeping grasses (usually hybrid bermuda). Planting stolons is an alternative to sodding. When planted during the spring or summer months (May-July), stolons can achieve the look of sod in 10-12 weeks, providing warm weather, proper irrigation, mowing, and fertility needs are met.
We offer Sea Spray and our exclusive West Coaster seed. Other varieties available upon request.
Hydroseeding is a proven method for establishing blends and mixes of seed. Seed, fertilizer, mulch, soil conditioner, and tackfier are combined with water and placed in our hydroseeding equipment. When all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, the slurry is sprayed over the prepared site. A green "mat" covers the newly seeded area. That's the hydromulch, and it performs these 3 valuable functions.
- Moisture Retention: Seeds are kept moist because hydromulch retains 10-15 times its weight in water. Water is the key ingredient for a quicker and thicker seed establishment.
- Erosion Control: Wind and water erosion can prevent satisfactory results. Hydromulch "blankets" the area and helps to prevent these problems from occurring.
- Seed Protection: Hydromulch helps maintain soil temperature and protects young seeds from the scorching sun. It forms an almost perfect micro-climate for maximum germination. As your seeded area becomes established, the hydromulch will gradually decompose and disappear.
Hydrostolonizing is a method of establishing turfgrass. The process much the same as hydroseeding, except instead of seed, "sprigs" or "stolons" are used, and most commonly with bermudagrass.
Large, open, relatively flat areas can be planted quickly with readily available, inexpensive, tractor-drawn equipment.
Sod is cut in 42” wide rolls, and can be up to 100’ long. Big rolls are ideal for large open areas. It is quick, efficient, and cuts down on seams.
Instead of the standard ½” thick cut, sod is cut up to 2” thick. Ideal for areas that need to be in use quickly.
Whatever seed mix or blend you need, West Coast Turf will grow it for you on whatever soil or sand profile you wish.
You name the place, and we’ll ship it to you! Our refrigerated trucks are standing by to deliver your turf. We can also prepare your turf for shipping by air to overseas destinations.
Soil is removed from the sod to create a “bare root” product. This is used to eliminate sod to soil incompatibilities, conform to some agricultural restrictions, help the sod knit to the soil faster, and reduce shipping weight.
Our goal at West Coast Turf is to provide the highest quality turfgrass and customer service available. If this standard of quality is not met we will supply replacement sod for dead turf areas as long as the following conditions are met:
- Sod must be installed on the same day of delivery.
- An automated permanent irrigation system that is accurately and uniform must be in place prior to installation of sod.
- Customer must notify West Coast Turf within one week of the first appearance of dead spots in the sod.
- Customer must follow pre and post sod planting recommendations in terms of soil preparation, sod installation, watering, fertilizing and mowing.
- Sod must not be planted in areas receiving more than 50% shade per day.
- Dead sod will not be replaced if caused by pet urine or by a chemical application (fertilizer, herbicide, fungicide, etc.).
Our LAWNGEVITY® Guarantee is limited to providing replacement sod only. No delivery, labor, chemical treatments or other costs will be covered.
