GARDEN CARPET The idea behind today's modern Garden Carpet technology-the growing of plant material in a soilless, man-made medium-is not a new one.

It has been explored on a limited basis for many years with some success. At Pacific Sod, we have succeeded in creating an advanced version of that process, allowing us to manage production on a larger scale.

To achieve this breakthrough, we first carefully position plastic film over a laser-leveled growing area. Then, over the plastic, we lay down a special planting mix containing preplant fertilizers.

Many times we not only had to create new techniques but also develop our own special equipment.

THE THEORY IS SIMPLE, THE TECHNOLOGY UNIQUE

Ordinary media mixtures did not meet our needs for this new method of growing. So, we formulated new ones.

Standard application equipment did not satisfy the standards we set to accomplish our goals. So, we developed our own.

Even our harvesting machines required redesigning and reconfiguration.

And it was only through long periods of experimentation and analysis that we were finally able to achieve our current consistently high level of quality for Garden Carpet plant products.

THE END RESULT IS TRULY OUTSTANDING

Garden Carpet is a superior plant product with a root system that is delivered whole and uncut to eliminate transplant shock. And it contains no residual growing soil to create layering and other interfacing problems.

Garden Carpet is a plant product that compacts less on pallets and weighs about half as much as a soil-grown version. It not only looks better, but lays faster and trims quicker.

This is a product that is always uniform in appearance and consistent in quality.

THAT MEANS TREMENDOUS SAVINGS IN TIME AND LABOR FOR YOU

Garden Carpet is a win-win product for the landscape industry.

Because it's about one-half the weight of soil-grown sod, it can be laid in about two-thirds the time.

Because of its larger size, there are fewer seams to match up. It harvests cleanly, and butts up straight edge to straight edge, perfectly, time after time.

Finally, it cleans up quicker and easier-leaving no ground-in soil on sidewalks and driveways to upset a customer.

In essence, it's a no-risk all-gain situation. In addition to all the benefits, the industry-leading guarantee that applies to our soil-grown sod applies to our garden Carpet soilless sod.
