Sod for Large Landscapers
The Best Large Landscaper Commercial Sod Near You Because... We Are the Farm.
Large landscapers buy sod from Bayside Sod by the truckload, scheduled against the phases of a job and cut that morning from about 900 acres of our own fields in Bradenton.
Quality Is King. Availability, Delivery, Predictability, and Terms Come With It.
Truckload quantities, scheduled
Phase a common-grounds job or a development across delivery dates. Because we grow the grass, we can tell you what will be ready when, not what a broker can find.
Proactive updates
Field and weather updates from the farm. When rain or field conditions change a delivery window, you hear it from us before your crew is standing on a site waiting.
Flexible payment terms
Account terms available for qualifying companies. Set them up with the farm before your first load.
Turnkey installation crews available
For common grounds, HOA replacements, and builder work, our crews can strip, prep, and lay it.
Guaranteed the Highest Quality Sod Near You
If you are not satisfied with the quality of your sod upon arrival, we will replace it or refund your money. Bayside Sod is a fifth-generation family farm, growing sod in Bradenton since 1987; wholesale sod is most of what we cut, and most of it goes to repeat accounts.

Send the takeoff

We schedule the harvest
We reply within one business day with pricing, a delivery schedule, and what the fields will have ready for each date. One pallet is 400 sq ft; a truckload is priced by the load.
Loads arrive fresh cut
Each load is cut that morning and set down where your site contact says. If weather or the fields change a window, we let you know. Lay each load the day it lands; stacked sod heats from the inside.

Volume, Terms, Lead Time, Site Drops, and Installation
How much sod can you supply for one job?
Truckload quantities, scheduled over the life of the job. We grow about 900 acres in Bradenton, so we quote from what the fields will have ready for each delivery date rather than from a broker’s list. Send the takeoff by phase and we will build the schedule with you.
Do you offer payment terms?
Yes. Account terms are available for qualifying companies and are set up with the farm before your first load. Call (941) 702-1746 to set up an account.
How far ahead do I need to schedule a truckload?
Give us the dates as soon as the phase is scheduled. The more notice we have, especially for large volumes of one variety or a spec variety like Bimini or ProVista, the more precisely we can plan the harvest around your dates. Call the farm and we will tell you what the fields can do for your window.
Will you deliver to a site with no one there?
We prefer a site contact so the pallets land where the crew wants them, but a marked drop spot and a phone number work.
Can you install as well as supply?
Yes. Our installation crews handle common grounds, HOA lawn replacements, and builder work. You sell the job; we strip, prep, and lay it.
What is the guarantee on a wholesale load?
If the quality of the sod disappoints you on arrival, we replace it or refund your money. Call the farm before it is laid so we can see the load.
