Common Questions
What makes Gerdes Turf Farms' sod a good choice for lawns in the Dayton area?
Our Tall Fescue turf is specifically cultivated for our regional climate. It's naturally heat-tolerant, shade-tolerant, and disease-resistant, which are key traits for thriving in Ohio's varied conditions. We harvest sod daily to ensure you receive the freshest product, giving your new lawn the best possible start. Its durability also makes it a lower-maintenance option for busy homeowners.
Can you help if my lawn in Xenia has issues with fungus or moss?
Yes, absolutely. Lawn fungus and moss are common challenges in our area, often related to shade, moisture, or soil conditions. During a consultation, we can assess your lawn and recommend the best course of action, which may include our lawn restoration service. Installing our disease-resistant Tall Fescue sod or using our hydroseeding service can be effective long-term solutions for replacing problem areas with a healthier, more resilient turf.
I want to install sod myself. What support do you offer for DIY customers?
