Different Types of Sod
There are many types of sod, including cold-season and warm-season grasses. Ontario is a one of the many Canadian provinces that experiences mostly cold weather. This makes it well-suited for cool-season sod such as Kentucky bluegrass, red fescue, and ryegrass. There are just a few warm-season sods that thrive in Canada, including Bermuda grass. Warm-season sods thrive throughout the months of April and October.
They withstand excessive heat and can survive minimal watering. Here are six of the most common types of sods:
- Kentucky Bluegrass: Kentucky grass is a popular sod in Ontario because it’s cold-hardy. It’s a high-quality sod with a fine texture, deep green colour, and dense uniform growth.
- Canadian Bluegrass: This hardy cool-season grass has a fine texture, is low-maintenance, and ideal for planting in areas that are more challenging to maintain.
- Ryegrass: Ryegrass is a cool-season sod most suitable for regions without extreme winters, such as Quebec and Newfoundland. It’s common to use ryegrass sod as a mixture in sports fields.
- Bermuda Grass: Bermuda grass can help keep your lawn green in the summer when cold-season grasses are dormant.
