Color Comparison – Celebration Bermuda versus Empire

Color Comparison – Celebration Bermuda versus Empire

by murffturf Comment Closed
We wanted to give an example of the color difference between Celebration Bermuda and Empire and it just so happens that we have both of these grasses next to each other in our office yard and our neighbors yard.  We aren't saying one is better than the other and there are different reasons for using one or the other but we just wanted to show the BIG difference in color. The grass in the foreground in the picture below is Empire and Celebration is in the background. Keep in mind that the Celebration in this picture is mowed probably every 3 days with a reel mower.  Homeowners typically have rotary mowers and probably won't want to mow that often either.  Celebration doesn't have to be mowed with a reel mower and doesn't have to be mowed every 3 days but this particular yard is maintained that way so just wanted you to be aware of that. They are both excellent grasses that we...

Anyone Watching the Upcoming Basketball Tournament?

by murffturf Comment Closed
We don't know how many people that come to our site are basketball fans and I hope if you aren't you don't mind us talking about it for just a brief minute here.  Here are a few interesting apps we wanted to point out to help you cover the games. The first is the official NCAA March Madness Live app which will allow you to watch games live. The second app, Simple Bracket, is a new way of entering and keeping up to date with your bracket by the fine folks at Studio Neat, makers of the Glif. And the third is the ESPN Bracket Bound App that also lets you keep up with your bracket and scores. Hope this wasn't too intrusive on your time.  Good luck with your brackets this year!...

Pallet Size, Block Size, Number of Blocks & General Info

by murffturf Comment Closed
We should have put this information on our Frequently Asked Questions page but somehow we missed it! Sorry about that! We'll try to update that page at some point with this information but wanted to post it here since we get these questions everyday. Normally a pallet of grass has 450 sq. ft. of sod on it. We can make larger pallets if we need to fit a certain amount of grass on a truck or some reason but typically each pallet will cover a 450 square foot area. The individual blocks of grass are 16" x 24" in size. (We can do a larger, 2' x 4', block also but we don't harvest that size every day so if you were needing that we need an order ahead of time.) There should be at least 170 blocks of grass on each pallet but we typically try to put 175 to make sure there hasn't been a mistake because we want to make...

We heard that it was copper thieves yesterday so maybe they hit again last night but sure seems strange two days in a row. Sorry for the communication problems! We can check email on our phones so try that if you need to get in touch. Thank you!...

Technical Difficulties

We are without phone and internet service today! We apologize for the inconvenience! Comcast is our provider for telephone and internet service and they have both been down all day even though Comcast support stated the problem should be corrected by 11 AM. Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience and we hope things are working very soon....
