Rooted in the High Sierra, Grown with Purpose
At Western Turf & Hardscapes, we believe in more than just selling sod—we believe in cultivating a landscape legacy. Since 1978, our family-owned and operated company has grown from a modest office on Peckham Lane to the region’s leading supplier of premium turf and hardscape materials. With deep roots in Northern Nevada and a forward-looking vision, we’re proud to welcome you to our new blog—your go-to source for tips, turf knowledge, and landscaping guidance built for the High Sierra.
A Legacy That Grew From the Ground Up
What started as a small family venture has become a multi-generational operation rooted in craftsmanship, community, and care for the land. From the early days of hauling sod with a jackknifing pickup to running a 400-acre farm with state-of-the-art equipment, our story is one of innovation and perseverance.
Our sod farm in Palomino Valley has been growing turf from seed to blade since 1986, adapting over the years to meet the demands of our unique transition zone climate. Through it all, we’ve never lost sight of our mission: to deliver quality products with unmatched service and to respect the land we rely on.
More Than Turf, A Trusted Partner in Landscaping
In 2007, we expanded into hardscape materials to better serve our customers’ evolving needs. Whether you’re a homeowner laying your first paver path or a contractor managing large-scale turf installations, we’re here to help you bring your vision to life. From topsoil and bark to decorative rock and synthetic turf, our yard is stocked with the region’s most trusted materials—and the knowledgeable team to back them up.
Committed to the High Sierra
Our custom sod blends are developed specifically for Northern Nevada’s climate. Grown locally and cut fresh to order, our turf thrives in the heat, resists drought, and holds strong through the cold. We hand-pick every seed, constantly experimenting and improving to ensure our sod exceeds expectations.
But our commitment doesn’t stop at quality products. As proud members of the local business community, we’ve served on boards, led the Nevada Landscape Association, and contributed to countless community projects. We believe a healthy landscape starts with healthy relationships—and we’re honored to grow both.
