A Sod for All Reasons
Native California grass sod a viable alternative

© 2011 Wendy Dager

Land planners, architects, government agencies, contractors, municipalities and homeowners throughout California are being asked to do more with less by planting more water-efficient landscapes. There is increasing pressure to use appropriate landscaping with plants that are native to California and better adapted to limited rainfall and less dependent on dwindling irrigation supplies.

Delta Bluegrass Co. of Stockton, California recently appointed S&S Seeds Inc. its regional distributor for its complete line of California Native Sod blends. S&S Seeds will be serving the entire Central Coast and all of Southern California, offering the sensible—and attractive—choice of native grass compositions for a multitude of projects. Both companies are working together on developing new California Native Sod blends.

For six years, Delta Bluegrass Co. has pioneered the growth and use of California Native Sod, and has been successful at growing and supplying six different native grass compositions to Northern California. For nearly four decades, S&S Seeds has developed a reputation as a native plant specialist, supplying its seeds and knowledge to projects throughout California.

Delta Bluegrass Co. recognized S&S Seeds as a respected resource for California native plants in Southern California. S&S Seeds found Delta Bluegrass Co.’s California Native Sod product line to be a high quality, affordable alternative to conventional turfgrass and a good option for native grass establishment for projects with critical timelines.

Delta Bluegrass Co.’s California Native Sod production fields in Stockton are in close enough proximity to jobsites as far away as San Diego that the company is able to cut sod and deliver the very next day. People are impressed with the look of this product. Users are even more impressed when they learn the irrigation requirements will have 30 to 50 percent savings, proving that Delta Bluegrass Co.’s native grass sod is doing more with substantially lower maintenance costs.
