The Sod Shop

Called and they said there was a minimum delivery of 300 square feet. Decided to order the 20 additional feet to meet the minimum, and then was told it is a 500 square foot minimum to deliver to my location.
Don’t complain when all the big corporate stores take all of your business!

Seemingly the best place to get sod around the bay. Ordering was easy (mellow fescue), the delivery guy was on time and friendly, the sod showed up cut super clean and is very high quality, and three weeks later our lawn is beautifully green and healthy. After just a week you couldn’t see the lines. I was surprised by how good it looked. I followed their instructions (on their website) to the letter.

the SOD shop is great. I’ve did some research and check prices around other competitors and the SOD shop gave me the best price. It was an honest price that you can feel good with. I worked with Elliot and he has be extremely helpful and professional through out. The process was seamless to me, we contacted using Email and everything was done even without me being there. I highly recommend the SOD shop if you want to get your lawn done.

Any kind of grass you can think of, they sell it & they sell it for a reasonable price too! They also deliver & are really good about arriving when they say they will (cable guys need to take note!!). The service is eat & these guys are super helpful! Next time my dog kills the lawn from peeing in the same spot, I’ll be back for more sod from this place!

Don’t waste your time with this company! If you are interested in working with a company who provide strong customer service– this is not the company to use.
I had the «pleasure» of calling today to get a quote for our do-​it-​yourself sod instillation. First off, when I called the gentleman who answered the phone put me on hold before I could even say «hello» or «yes, I don’t mind holding». I then proceeded to patiently wait on-​hold for 10 minutes before being hung up on!!! When I called back the phone rang a few times before I was sent to voice-​mail.
If you are interested in great customer service, call just about any place else, this guys stink! I ended up finding another local company who was able to answer all of my questions, offer the delivery date I needed and gave an outstanding price and delivery charge.

Have used this place to buy the sod for several jobs. Again, the delivery last Friday was on time. Sod was High quality and best prices around! Kieth, the owner, is very friendly and helpful.

Can’t say enough good things about the Sod Shop! the price is way below other resources I considered ($.28 sqft versus $.45-$.51) The quality of the grass was outstanding and the service is terrific. I had to pick up 1,000 sq. ft because my road is too narrow for a truck delivery and the owner directed traffic to ensure I could get in and out of the narrow parking lot safely. Very friendly and helpful. Please note: if you are going to pick up your order this stuff is very heavy and I way underestimate the need for a bigger truck and trailer. 1,000 sq.ft. is two large pallets of material and is between 4,000 and 5,000 lbs which must be loaded by hand.

We called to order 960 sq feet of Mello Rye and the man who I spoke with was kind enough to tell me if I round the order up to a 1,000 sq ft, then I would get the $ 40 delivery fee waived. I ended up agreeing because it basically made sense to me to get more and pay less. I was told that I would get a call on Friday at 2:30 pm to confirm my order arrival on Saturday, and they called when promised. They also gave us a window of 6:30 — 8:00 am for delivery, and they showed up exactly at 6:30 am. We love the grass, it is absolutely gorgeous. And for the price, you cannot beat that. I was very thrilled about how courteous the service rep was. All promises were met. I told the guy that if every promise was met, and we were happy with the product, that I would write a good review. So here is my review. 5 stars.

Called Friday morning hoping for Saturday delivery after Lowe’s screwed up our order. Keith answered and called the delivery company while I waited on hold for about a minute then let me know I’d have my sod the next day. It was way cheaper than Lowes (by at least $ 150) and the service was great. He was helpful in deciding what to buy and gave me a 45 minute window for the delivery time. The guy who delivered was right on time and was very nice. Definitely will go back to this place.

Got ~750 sq ft. (2 pallets) of their Mello Fescue. The grass looks great and fresh and way better than the sorry stuff I saw in the local Lowes… and cheaper to boot.
The process was very easy — called on Friday morning for a Saturday delivery — the delivery was prompt and guy was nice and put the pallets whereever we wanted.

My landscaper got their mello fescue for my garden and I can’t stop staring at my lawn now. Its such a beautiful lush deep bright supple green. It’s just perfect. Can’t imagine a better grass.

We ordered 1300 sf of the mello fescue to put in our backyard. The things I liked about The Sod Shop was 1) they only need a few days notice, 2) they were the most reasonably priced, 3) they called the day before delivery to let me know what time to expect them, 4) they gave me a delivery window of 7 am to 9 am and promptly arrived at 7 am, and 5) the sod is beautiful! It took my husband and I about 4 hours of hard work, but it looks great!

I needed sod for a very small, postage stamp sized front yard. I called the shop and learned they had business delayed due to recent repaving of Pacheco Blvd. I ended up ordering some of their Mellow Fescue (their most popular blend; 80% fescue and 20% Kentucky Bluegrass) for later this week, and picked it up and installed it today.
It is absolutely the best looking lawn I’ve ever installed, and this was my 4^th. It’s green, moist and looks extremely healthy. I think it was the owner (Keith??) who helped me, and he was easy to work with over the phone. I think they are well-​equipped to work with your average homeowner, as he confirmed my measurements and suggested an extra roll that I ended up not needing. He even suggested against renting a lawn roller as my lawn was very small, but I ended up wanting to play it safe and rented it anyhow. You can do the same rolling with a decent sized piece of plywood, and simply walk on your soggy new sod after it’s installed. This ensures excellent adhesion to your soil.
By the way, their prices are much less than Home Depot, which had only 100% fescue. I’m no knocking HD, is’s just that their product is a general lawn made for a lot of activity and usage; my requirements were to have a lawn that’s drought tolerant and maintains it’s good looks. This one fit the bill just fine.

No netting in the grass to keep it together when laying. Everything else was okay.

Keith (I assume he’s the owner) was very helpful in letting me know what would work best for my space, the sod was delivered right when they said it would be, and was great quality. I recommend!

I have to subtract stars due to their inability to help me out. Although their web page says they are able to do any amount of sod for delivery, they would not deliver to my home. I do understand that 250 ft of sod is not a lot, but it is more than my poor tiny truck could handle. They did not seem interested in me as a customer, so I took my money elsewhere.

Good selection of sod. The prices are cheap and affordable. Delivery charge from Martinez to Fairfield did not break the bank. We were given a 2 hour window from 6−8am on a Sat., they were here by 6:02am. Nearly three weeks later our yard looks amazing and the grass is green, gorgeous and ready to be mowed. I would highly recommend doing business with the Sod Shop!

offers a variety of grass types, for pick-​up or delivery. Closed Sunday.
