Arizona Sod Products

Arizona is fortunate to have gorgeous weather year-round. Warm season grasses such as bermuda and paspalum are used in the Arizona desert, but will go dormant come fall and will require overseeding should you require winter color. Overseededed sod is available mid-October.

We recommend these varieties of sod:
BOBSod
EZ-Turf
Tifgreen
Tifway

These sod varieties provide rich color, medium to fine texture, and all are hearty and stand up to heavy traffic and use. Talk with our experts at West Coast Turf and we’ll help you determine the best Arizona sod for your area and needs.

Best Time for Arizona Sod Installation

One of the benefits of choosing sod over seeding, is that it can be installed any time of the year. The most important part of laying sod is the preparation. Of course, your irrigation system must be ready and tested before installing your fresh turf. For best results, follow our Arizona Sod Installation Guide; here are some of the most important points to consider:

1. Carefully measure your area and work with a West Coast Turf representative to determine how much sod you will need.
2. Be sure to schedule your delivery for soon after your soil preparation. Prompt installation makes a significant difference for a strong beginning for your Arizona lawn.
3. Rake and smooth the soil, removing rocks, roots, and large clods and add in necessary fertilizer and other amendments to prepare the soil. Again, a West Coast Turf representative can help you with determine how to best prepare your soil.
4. For best results, begin your sod installation immediately upon delivery, and start irrigating right away. Turf is a living plant that requires ground contact and moisture to survive.
