Genuine Marathon Sod We have Marathon sod in stock, arriving daily, fresh from the sod farm. Our sod is available for pick-up or delivery. Marathon combines the best of both worlds in terms of beauty and durability. It is a 100% tall fescue blend, which stays dark green year-round. Our sod is 100% weed free. Remember, as you are preparing your soil, we loan spreaders and water rollers FREE with purchase. Genuine Marathon Sod was first produced in 1983. Since then it has become the most popular lawn choice of homeowners throughout Southern California. Well suited to Southern California soils and climates, Marathon is desired for its green year-round look. Thanks to a remarkable extensive root system - up to five times deeper than blue grass - Marathon Sod uses less water and is tolerant of high heat. Evergreen Varieties Marathon Sod 100% improved tall fescue. Easy care. Slightly coarser, more fibrous than bluegrass. Most rapid growing, rugged and durable of the Marathon family. Stays green year round and adapts well to varying Southern California climates and soils. Marathon II Deeper green and greater density for a more well manicured look. Lower mowing height and slightly finer texture. Stays green year round and adapts well to varying Southern California climates and soils. Marathon III Denser, darker green, finer leafed and slower growing than previous generations. It can be mowed shorter resulting in a more compact carpet-like appearance. Stays green year round and adapts well to varying Southern California climates and soils. Pureblue Improved elite bluegrass blend. Dense, elegant appearance. Medium-fine texture. Requires regular care to maintain refined appearance. Does best in moderate coastal areas; avoid inland valleys and warm, arid regions. Requires well-drained soils and cannot tolerate salinity. Ryeblue 80% Pureblue and 20% Perennial Rye. Very similar to Pureblue. The minor subtle differences (slightly lighter color, overall glossier appearance) are not readily apparent. Slightly higher disease resistance than Pureblue. Also green year-round. Dichondra A specialty lawn with a distinctive, round-leaved texture. A low- growing ground cover, popularly used with stepping stones or in oriental garden settings to create an elegant effect. Good for use in partial shade or where mowing is difficult. Not recommended for traffic areas or salinity. Requires well-drained soils and constant care. Green year round. Winter Dormant Varieties St. Augustine Very coarse thick stemmed runners. Used primarily where shade tolerance is the top priority. Native to the southern United States where humid conditions do not permit cool-season lawn varieties to flourish. Considerable thatching. Requires concrete borders for containment and becomes dormat during the winter. Tifgreen Hybrid Bermuda. Excellent as athletic field or recreational turf. Often used on golf course putting greens. Very dense, low-growing, fine textured. With consistent care and trimming will create an attactive "manicured" look. Develops thatch. Requires concrete borders for containment.
