Native Sod vs Traditional Sod

Native sod or grass will typically have a tougher exterior and be higher heat tolerant. These Natives have been tested at 50% watering capacity, allowing the most drought tolerance nature can provide. Native grasses are all Perrenials meaning they will all live throughout the whole year though some may slow growth during the colder months.
