What Schubert's Sod Depot supplies

Sod is a perishable crop, cut fresh and harvested to order by most growers. The grass varieties a yard carries reflect what actually performs in the local climate, which is why buying sod locally matters more than it does for inert materials.

Confirm the variety and whether it is sun or shade rated. Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, zoysia and bermuda all have very different water and light requirements, and installing the wrong one is an expensive mistake to undo.

How much material you need

Sod is sold by the pallet. A pallet of sod weighs 1,500–3,000 lbs depending on soil moisture, and should be laid within 24 hours of delivery.

As a rough guide: 1 pallet covers about 400–500 sq ft; 3 pallets covers about 1,200–1,500 sq ft; 10 pallets covers about 4,000–5,000 sq ft.

Have length, width and target depth ready when you phone. Yard staff convert those into pallets far more reliably than a generic online calculator, and they know how their own material settles.

Ordering and delivery

Ask about delivery minimums and trip charges up front — for smaller orders these often matter more to the final bill than the headline per-pallet price.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Pricing for bulk material is rarely published in full, since it moves with stock and season. The business website may list current products, but a phone call will get you a firm delivered number faster.

Ratings and reputation

Of the 60 reviews on file, 52 are five-star (87%) and 4 are four-star. 2 reviews sit at one or two stars, and those are worth reading directly — complaints at material yards usually concern delivery timing or short loads rather than the product itself.

Among the suppliers we list across Colorado, this rating places Schubert's Sod Depot in the top 36%.

Across the 43 suppliers we list in Colorado Springs, the average rating is 4.5.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 4.7 drawn from 60 reviews reflects a substantial track record.

Hours and visiting the yard

Schubert's Sod Depot is open 5 days a week, closed Saturday and Sunday. The yard opens as early as 8 AM and runs until 4 PM.

The yard is closed on Saturdays, so weekend work needs material ordered and delivered before Friday close.

Loading is weather-dependent whatever the posted hours say. Heavy rain turns yards to mud and makes wet material heavier and harder to spread, so call the same morning if conditions look poor.

Best time to buy in Colorado

In Colorado, the buying window is compressed. Yards get busiest from the first thaw through early June, and again briefly in autumn. Ordering sod in early spring often means waiting in a queue and paying peak rates, so booking delivery before the rush — or in late autumn for spring work — usually gets both a better price and a firmer delivery date. Many yards in colder states reduce hours or close outright through deep winter, so confirm seasonal availability before planning a January or February project.

Bulk material pricing is intensely local. Trucking is a large share of the delivered cost, which is why a nearby yard usually beats a cheaper one further out once the full quote lands.
