Through years of experience and rigorous field testing, we’ve carefully selected the best sod grass varieties to ensure durability, beauty, and long-lasting results.
Choosing the Right Sod Grass for Your Lawn
One of the most common questions we get is:
“What’s the best sod grass for shady areas?”
While Kentucky bluegrass is the go-to choice for most lawns, shaded areas require special consideration. Fine fescue is one of the best grass types for shade, but it lacks the lateral roots needed for sod harvesting. To overcome this challenge, we offer high-quality sod blends, including:
✔ Kentucky bluegrass mixed with fine fescue – Ideal for moderate shade
✔ Kentucky bluegrass mixed with tall fescue – Adds durability and drought resistance
For heavily shaded areas, we recommend laying Kentucky bluegrass sod grass and overseeding with fine fescue regularly to maintain a lush, healthy lawn. The key to success is ensuring your lawn gets enough sunlight to sustain proper growth.
Why Choose Hillcrest Sod Farms for Your Sod Grass?
At Hillcrest Sod Farms, we grow our sod grass on nutrient-rich sandy loam and clay soil, providing the perfect balance of drainage and moisture retention. Our sod grass is typically two years old at the time of harvest, ensuring a strong, mature root system for successful transplanting.
We offer sod grass in two convenient roll sizes:
18 inches x 6 feet
24 inches x 5 feet

When can I install sod grass?
You can install a sod grass anytime during the year when the ground can be tilled and irrigated. There is no need to wait for a certain season to put in a new lawn. Click on Lawn Care Tips.
Is installing sod better than seeding?
Yes, sod takes less work than seeding and requires less water. Most seeded yards will need re-seeding or over-seeding when seeds do not germinate. Birds, soil erosion, and wind will take their toll on seed as well making the job very frustrating. A seeded lawn requires months of nurturing and additional water before it is established and useable. A sod lawn will be ready for use within a few weeks and will be green and attractive almost immediately after installation since it is already mature grass.
What if I have existing, unwanted, or dead grass?
Remove all old grass by either renting a sod cutter or by hand using a shovel. Once you are down to dirt prepare your soil as suggested (link) soil preparation.
Can I just rototill the dead lawn into the dirt?
This is not advised for several reasons. The tiller will have a hard time breaking down the existing root system leaving you with the very clumpy ground to work with. The existing roots can also re-grow and create areas of unwanted grass in the new lawn. If you choose to go this route, be sure to spend the time necessary to rake out all the large clumps and remove as much of the root material as possible, make the ground as smooth as possible. Remember, the better your soil preparation is the better your new sod will look.
