Services
Turfgrass Sod
Our Nugget/Kenai Kentucky Bluegrass sod features dense root systems developed over three growing seasons. This cold-tolerant grass establishes quickly in Alaska's climate, creating durable lawns and erosion-resistant ground cover. Each 2x5 foot roll contains 10 square feet of premium sod ready for immediate installation.
Erosion Control
We provide specialized erosion control solutions including large-format sod rolls (2x50 feet) and certified compost products. These materials meet SWPPP requirements for construction sites and environmentally sensitive areas across Alaska's challenging terrain.
Certified Compost
Our USCC-certified compost improves soil structure and nutrient content using locally sourced organic materials. Available in bulk quantities from 1 cubic yard to full truckloads, this compost enhances plant growth while reducing reliance on imported fertilizers.
Soil Testing
We recommend Brookside Labs' S-001B soil test for accurate pH and nutrient analysis. This testing identifies specific amendments needed to optimize soil conditions before sod installation or landscaping projects.
Delivery Services
Statewide delivery options available for all products including time-sensitive sod shipments. We coordinate logistics for both small residential orders and large commercial projects requiring specialized equipment.
