Tall Fescue Grass the ideal sod type for the Bay Area

California loves its sod

Sod and Seed Inc. occasionally has had folks call us and saying they invested in sod that didn’t hold up from another sod farm. We ask some questions and 90 percent of the time the sod was too sensitive to heat, the sod was cool season and not meant for drought, low foot traffic sod in high foot traffic lawns, soil heavy in clay, or the dreaded shade. If this happens to your or you have bought a house where the sod looked amazing and then the sod just kind of died. We can also help by directing you to our how to DYI section.

 Delta Tall 9010! Delta Tall 9010 is our bestseller and was prized Best Seller in 2019 and 2020. It is truly the ideal sod all-around. Its deep rooting system allows for many strong characteristics such as drought tolerance, heat tolerance, resistance to foot traffic, shade, and excellent wear and tear recovery. It is 90% Tall Fescue and 10% Kentucky Bluegrass. We also sell our Tall 9010 seed, high-quality farm-grade seed, and hand the same one used to grow our sod!
