All of our sod crops are grown from certified seed. Certified seed is purchased from growers who submit their seed crops to the Maryland Department of Agriculture for testing. Certified seed is analyzed for varieties present, inert matter, and weed seed. The certified seed varieties that Laverys uses are recommended for our region based on growth trials that demonstrate success in our location in the transition zone (geographic area delineated by geography and climate).
