Most of the sod produced for residential purposes in British Columbia contains plastic netting, this may be an unexpected and unpleasant surprise for some after installing new sod.
Why would you litter your yard in plastic netting if you have another option?
Plastic netting is used during the planting of new sod to help keep the rolls of sod together during harvest if the sod root system is not strong enough. The manufacturer of this netting claims the product is biodegradable; our experience has been different.
The plastic meshing is contained in the soil of the sod rolls and remains on your property. The meshing may become noticeable when the grass dies off. (picture above)
When you order sod from BC Instant Lawns, your sod will NOT contain any plastic netting.
