If you are not satisfied with the quality of your sod upon arrival, we will replace it or refund your money.

From historic streets near the waterfront to growing communities like Sanctuary Cove and Esplanade, Palmetto lawns tell the story of north Manatee County - and we help them look their best. At Bayside Sod, we deliver the highest-quality sod near you in Palmetto, cut fresh on our nearby family farm.
