Commercial Sod Procurement & Logistics

How does Right On Sod handle large-scale commercial logistics? In commercial landscaping, securing the product is only half the battle; installing it before it dries out requires militant logistics. We manage the entire supply chain so your site supervisors never have to worry about dead turf or delayed transport trucks.

Our Procurement Advantages:

  • 🏗️ Direct-From-Farm Sourcing: We bypass middlemen. Your sod is cut fresh at premier Ontario farms and transported directly to your job site on the exact day of installation.
  • 🚛 Phased Delivery Scheduling: For massive sites, we stagger our transport trucks. This ensures our crews are always laying fresh, cool grass rather than turf baking in the sun.
  • 🚜 Heavy Machinery Placement: We utilize compact track loaders to safely maneuver 2,000lb sod pallets across rough construction sites, dropping the product directly at the installation zone.

Big Roll Sod vs. Standard Pallets for Large Projects

When quoting a commercial landscaping project, the method of installation is just as important as the quality of the turf. We utilize two distinct methods to maximize efficiency:

Choosing the Right Format:

  • Standard Palletized Sod: Ideal for housing subdivisions and tight courtyards. Allows our crews to manually cut and shape turf around intricate hardscaping and utilities.
  • Big Roll Sod: Deployed via skid steer attachments for municipal parks and massive fields. This method drastically reduces seams, resulting in less moisture loss and rapid acre-per-day coverage.

Even though Evan was not able to complete my landscape project as planned(due to unforeseen circumstances), he’s gone above and beyond to make it right by crediting me out of pocket towards the cost of the project so I can still get it done on my own timeline through another provider. I really appreciate his professionalism and support. Hope to access his services sometime in the future!
