A. Pacific Earth Resources was the first sod producer in California, starting at our Patterson location in 1958. We have refined our knowledge and experience in turfgrass farming from over 40 years in the sod business. Medallion is our brand name for our popular fescue sod varieties, such as Medallion Tall, Medallion Plus and Medallion Dwarf with Bonsai.
Fescue is one of the most widely used types of grass grown in California, since the deep root system makes lawns resistant to drought conditions in the summer, yet the grass remains green year-round. Almost all sod companies offer a fescue variety sod.
Fescue grass seed varieties are produced for various different characteristics such as color, texture, and disease resistance. We combine three of the best fescue seed varieties available to grow our sod, and we constantly are looking for the improved new varieties of seed. Pacific Sod works with a wide variety of seed producers, universities and turfgrass researchers to develop the best possible blend of the latest and best new varieties of grass seed. We are continually improving our Medallion sod varieties by introducing newer and better seed varieties into our sod.
Many people mistakenly think that MarathonTM is a type of grass, when it is just the brand name for one company's fescue sod. But the real proof of the quality of a sod brand is judged by the performance of the sod, not a sign or slogan for the brand of sod. Many landscapers and contractors agree that the best sod for the best price is Pacific Sod and our Medallion fescue varieties.
Competitors make claims that their turf is greener or denser, but those claims are truly unfounded. Since Pacific Sod's Medallion brands are guaranteed for one year, you never have to worry about your new lawn. If you are in any way unhappy with your Pacific Sod lawn, we will send you as much replacement sod as needed to repair your grass, absolutely free, "Sod-isfaction Guaranteed!"
So, in the end, is one brand better than another? We think it's like comparing apples to oranges.
