How To Order Your Sod

Category : Knowledge , Ordering Info

What to do first:

  1. Measure the area.
    Divide the area into easily measured shapes such as rectangles, squares, and triangles. Once each shape’s sq ft is calculated you will be able to add all these shapes together for total square footage.
  2. Choose your installation day.
  3. Decide whether you will pick up (in Moriarty) or you want the sod delivered.
  4. Call us for information on purchasing sod or come to the farm! 505-832-4247 (mornings only).
    • Phone calls answered Mon-Fri, 8 AM-11 AM.
    • Moriarty farm is open Mon-Fri 8 AM-4 PM (closed 12-1 for lunch).
    • You may call first to place and pay for your order (preferred) OR come out the to the farm and order on-site.

LATE SPRING, SUMMER & EARLY FALL

SOD:

We currently do not have an Albuquerque sod sales lot. SOD orders are for delivery or farm pick up only. Call 505-832-4247 (mornings only) to get information (Sod is available to purchase at the farm M-F 8AM to 4 PM and closed for lunch 12 PM – 1 PM).

Please plan ahead for Friday orders, as this is our busiest day, delivery or pick up orders. We suggest you call 3-4 days ahead of a Friday delivery order, and if you are coming out to the farm to pick up, please allow a little extra time. (It only takes a few minutes to cut a full pallet of sod, but you may have to wait for other orders ahead of yours.)

FERTILIZER, SEED, STOCKOSORB®:

If you need to purchase our awesome fertilizer, seed, or Stockosorb®, call 505-832-4247 (M-F, 8a-11a) to place an order.  We have an non-retail, administrative office in Albuquerque where you can pick up pre-paid orders of these 3 products only. No sod may be picked up from this location.

  • Sod is cut fresh for you when you arrive at the farm to pick it up. We never cut orders at the farm ahead of time, as we really don’t want to see our beautiful sod go to waste if someone decides they cannot pick it up. Cutting it fresh does not take much time out of your day – about 10 minutes to cut one pallet of sod (455 sq ft). You won’t have to wait very long to get the freshest cut sod available in the Southwest.

Calculate The Area for Sod

EXAMPLE:
1. MEASURE the area where you want to lay sod (length and width in feet). Length = 22 ft.
Width = 35 ft.
2. MULTIPLY the length by width. This will give you the total square footage. 22 x 35 = 770 sq.ft. total
3. To figure the cost (not yet including tax), MULTIPLY the square footage from above (#2) by our current price per square foot. 770 sq.ft.
x $.80 / sq.ft.
= $616.00 plus tax (Moriarty, NM)

Does not include any delivery charges
  • Sod is available in rolls from 7 sq.ft. (18″ x 54″) to 300 sq.ft.
  • Our regular rolls are 7 square feet.
  • One Pallet = 455 sq.ft. and weighs approximately 2300 lbs. depending on water content (adds weight).

PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR MEASUREMENTS.
We cannot not take responsibility for
incorrect square footage calculations.

Yes! You CAN Plant Sod All Year Round!

We are often asked questions regarding how long we will cut sod, when it’s available, when we stop cutting for the year, or if it’s a good time to plant, and similar.

  • We cut sod and have it available ALL YEAR ROUND (as long as the ground isn’t’ frozen or snowed upon, which doesn’t happen too often here in the Southwest).
  • We never stop cutting sod (again, only if the ground is frozen).
  • Sod can be planted ALL YEAR ROUND, even when dormant.
  • Planting sod ALL YEAR is perfectly fine in Albuquerque and the nearby surrounding region with similar elevations.

How much sod can my half-ton truck carry?

Category : Knowledge , Ordering Info

Unless you have a truck from the 1960’s or older, “half-ton” does not accurately describe hauling capacity. Today’s half-ton pickups are capable of hauling more than 1000 pounds (1/2 ton). We have successfully loaded many half-ton trucks with one pallet (approximately 2000-2300 pounds depending on water weight).  However, we do not recommend carrying MORE than 1 pallet in your half-ton truck.

IMPORTANT: With this being said, we still HIGHLY recommend checking with your specific truck’s manufacturer (Chevrolet, Ford, GMC., etc.) or your owner’s manual for your truck’s exact hauling specifications. 

Stonegate Turfgrass Ranch takes no liability for damage to your vehicle.
