The Best Sod and Grass Seed for Bakersfield

Good morning, folks! Sod and Seed, Inc. continues to provide information and recommendations on the best sods for our top cities, and today we will discuss Bakersfield, California! We will review key information about Bakersfield and our top sod and grass seed recommendations.

Bakersfield, the largest city in Kern County and part of the San Joaquin Valley, has a population of approximately 377,000 residents. More specifically, Bakersfield is one of three cities composing the Tulare Basin in the Central Valley, which is only 3% urban population and is more vastly known for agricultural production and petroleum extraction. Agricultural fields include the production of grapes, oranges, grains, cotton, and corn. Geographically, Bakersfield and the rest of the Central Valley, make up one of the most marked geographical depressions in the world. What does this all mean? Bakersfield has great soil, unique climate, and lots of room for housing a beautiful sod lawn!

The Best Grass Types for Bakersfield

In order to jump into the best grass types for Bakersfield, we must cover two important factors: the soil composition and climate of Bakersfield. Based on research and mapping conducted by the Agricultural and Natural Resources Department at UC Davis, Bakersfield is predominantly sitting on clay soil, or soils heavier in clay. In terms of climate, Bakersfield is no exception to the Central Valley heat, with annual temperatures peaking at 100 degrees during summertime and dropping as low as 35 degrees during winter. For areas with soil heavier in clay, there are two options. First, select one of our sod types grown on clay soil base. Second, select any of the sod types and the grass will adapt, keeping in mind the impact of water routines based on soil type. A sod type that can handle extreme temperatures will also be key. Now, lets jump in to our top sods for Bakersfield!


 

 

 

 



Last but not least on the list for best lawns in BakersfieldCalifornia, is actually not sod but our Phyla nodifora plugs or Phyla nodiflora alternative ground cover. Phyla nodiflora is a popular lawn alternative or alternative ground cover often called Frog Fruit, Turkey Tangle, or Lippia. Phyla nodiflora plugs grow laterally, not upward, to create a dense, flowering, carpet-like ground cover or lawn that thrives in Bakersfield California. Our Phyla nodiflora plugs are available for ground shipping to Bakersfield and surrounding areas.

  • This is a fine company. We put in one of the water-saving sods, and it looks great.

  • Hi Wilton B., we have a good selection of fescue varieties for you to choose from, including tall fescue. Fescue is one of the most drought-tolerant turf grasses, and also great for high foot traffic. It is available for both sod and seed. This product is an excellent choice for pet owners, as it doesn’t get clumpy or thatch. Moreover, this product is perfect for the wear and tear recovery and is disease resistant.

  • I’m looking for a product that tolerates higher foot traffic and is affordable. I think sod is out of my budget for now.
