About Genesis Sod Farms
Whether you’re green with envy over your neighbor’s lush lawn, just moved into a new house, or have tried to grow your lawn without success, we’re here to help. One of the many beautiful things about sod is it can be installed any time of year, just as long as there’s water in the ground. Sodding your yard is also like having an instant yard. While seeding is effective, it is time-consuming and messy, especially with kids and pets. Stick to sod so you don’t end up with half of your yard in the living room.

Allowing the professionals to handle your yard will save you money on costly chemicals and treatments needed to give your lawn a thick, colorful appearance.
