Sod

Shellview Sod Farms cultivates and delivers a high quality sod that is 80% Kentucky Bluegrass and 20% Creeping Red Fescue.  There are many varieties that make up these percentages that are adapted for life in Canada with shade tolerance, optimal colour and good resistance to drought and winter kill.  Our sod is grown for two full years on a loam soil prior to cutting to ensure good root development.

Small Roll Sod

Rolls are 24 inches wide by 60 inches long.  Each small roll equals 10 square feet or 0.929 square metres.  Small roll sod is shipped on pallets that can be made of any size to suit a customers needs, the typical pallet consists of 70 rolls or 700 square feet.  Rolls typically weigh about 30 lbs but can be quite a bit heavier if wet.

Below are two short videos of our two harvesters cutting sod in the field. 

 

Big Roll Sod

Big roll is the same concept as the commonly used small rolls except the rolls are 4 feet wide and up to 100 feet long.  Big roll is a must when dealing with large developments such as golf courses, parks, soccer pitches, ball diamonds and large residential and commercial areas.  Big roll is a fast and extremely efficient answer to covering large areas with a fraction of the crew that would normally be needed.  Rental of a big roll installer for skid steers, forklifts and 3 point hitch units are available. 

Below is a brief video of our big roll harvester in action.
