Choosing Sod
Choosing the Right Sod for Northern California Lawns
Match the sod variety to shade, sun, water needs, foot traffic, maintenance expectations, and the look you want.
The right sod depends on how the lawn will be used. Start with sun and shade, then think about water, wear, mowing, and the visual style you want.
Start With Sun and Shade
Royal Shade Blend and Meadow Mix can help where shade is a major factor, while Bermuda performs best in hot sunny settings.
Consider Foot Traffic
Majestic Rye Blue Blend, Santa Ana Hybrid Bermuda, Endurance Fescue Blend, and RTF WaterSaver Blend all offer useful traffic or durability strengths.
Think About Water Use
RTF WaterSaver Blend and Santa Ana Hybrid Bermuda are useful starting points when water-conscious performance matters.
Pick the Right Look
Some lawns should look refined and manicured; others need a natural meadow-like appearance.
