At Blue Grass Enterprises, we are a sod farm, but we grow more than top-quality sod; we grow beautiful communities; we grow clean air and water; we grow together as individuals. We lead our industry with integrity; our passions are research-based innovation, elite products, precision sod farming, educating ourselves and our communities, and being responsible stewards of our agricultural and urban land.

After over 50 years in business, we have established a reputation for leading in the art and science of providing championship-quality nursery-grown sod to eastern Iowa. Locally owned and operated, we’ve worked hard to build trusted relationships in both our community and throughout Iowa with everyone from builders, golf superintendents, sports turf managers, and landscape architects to homeowners seeking to improve their outdoor spaces.

As grass experts, we take pride in being able to provide the best sod, seed, and lawn care products possible. From your first phone call, Blue Grass Enterprises is with you every step of the way for the life of your lawn. Want to know more about why what we grow here is setting the pace in our industry?

We encourage our customers to visit Blue Grass Enterprises to experience the superior quality of our products. Just as there are different qualities of carpet, there is a wide range of quality in nursery grass. And unlike carpet, it is unlikely you will replace your lawn in 15 years. Choosing the best quality now represents an investment in your future.

The seed we use to create our Master Blend sod is blended in-house using 100% elite Kentucky bluegrass cultivars to provide you with a product that is naturally dark green, luxurious, and trouble-free. Every year universities around the country test hundreds of grass cultivars for characteristics like disease and insect resistance, drought and wear tolerance, growth rate (so you spend less time mowing), and color qualities - to name just a few. These results coupled with our decades of experience allow us to create a product that will save you time and money while providing years of enjoyment.

From home lawns to sports fields to golf courses, we are confident Master Blend is the standard of excellence for sod in Iowa.

Natural grass is a vital part of feeding and protecting our soil’s ecosystem. Like all plants, grasses produce oxygen while sequestering CO2; they filter rainwater, improving water quality in our communities. Studies show that gardening and lawn care reduce anxiety and boost our immune systems. 5,000 sq/ft of natural grass produces enough oxygen daily to meet the needs of 18 people. Your lawn helps to cool your home by staying around 25 degrees cooler than hard surfaces on hot days. A well-kept lawn can increase perceived home values by 10%. A healthy lawn really can help everyone.

A new lawn from Blue Grass looks amazing; we work hard so that you will want to kick off your shoes to relax, grill out with friends, or play fetch with the family dog. You can keep it looking amazing using either of our high-quality, research-based feeding options for to keep your natural grass looking just as healthy, dark, robust, and thick as it did the day it arrived.
