Order Sod For Delivery or Pickup
IMPORTANT: Sod MUST be laid within 6 HOURS of delivery. Please plan ahead when choosing your delivery date to ensure immediate planting.
Grass Type
Our sod is 100% Kentucky Bluegrass. This grass has a lush, deep green colour that looks great in any landscape, making it an excellent choice for residential and commercial lawns. Kentucky bluegrass is resistant to drought, disease, and pests, and it has a fine texture that gives it a soft and comfortable feel underfoot.
Quality
We cut our sod to order the morning of the scheduled pickup or delivery to ensure that you receive the freshest and healthiest sod for your project’s success.
Roll Size
Our sod rolls measure 2 feet x 4.5 feet, each covering a 9-square-foot area. Each roll of sod weighs approximately 40 lbs or 18 kg.
Delivery
The minimum order for delivery is 30 rolls. As long as you order by 3pm, we guarantee your delivery next day, Monday to Saturday, excluding some holidays. Sod pallets can be placed exactly where you need them with our truck-mounted forklifts. All our forklifts require 9 feet of clearance in order to place your sod. Delivery charges may apply, depending on your order quantity and delivery location.

History
Fairgreen Sod Farms is a family-owned and operated business that has been growing natural grass and supplying sod to Ontario residents and contractors for over half a century.
We offer premium sod that is specifically formulated for the Ontario region, using a unique seed blend to grow the sod that we have developed over the last 60+ years. The sod provides a deep, rich, dark green colour, and is excellent at withstanding excessive wear and tear, while having the ability to regenerate itself.
At Fairgreen Sod Farms, we love and take care of our grass like no other: we use top-of-the-line equipment and live and breathe the best practices we have developed over three generations to grow the healthiest sod in Ontario.
Our Delivery Process
Ordering
If you would like to have your sod delivered, please place an order online or over the phone. Be sure to place your order dimensions in square feet. The minimum order required for delivery is 30 rolls or 270 square feet. If you do not require delivery, you may visit our physical location and pick up any amount of sod needed.
Time Frame
For next-business-day delivery, orders need to be placed by 3 pm the day before. Orders placed after 3 pm will be scheduled for delivery in 2 business days. If needed, you can schedule your delivery further in advance.
Delivery Requirements
Your sod will be cut on the morning of your delivery. Please ensure that you have 9 feet of clearance space for the sod to be delivered. As sod is a perishable product, you will need to be available to accept the delivery and it will need to be installed within 6 hours of being dropped off.
Taking Care of Your Sod
Watering
Once your sod is laid, it needs to be watered immediately. It should be soaked to the point that you are unable to walk on it. You may use a lawn sprinkler, provided it covers the full area of sod and is left on until the grass is thoroughly wet.
Mowing
You should mow your new lawn for the first time when the cut will remove about one-third of the length. This typically occurs within one to two weeks after laying the sod. Ensure that when you mow, the grass is not wet.
Shade
Our sod is shade-tolerant but will require a form of light to survive. It is not recommended that sod be laid in a permanently shaded area or it may die.
