PROFILE
Over
the years, the name Shamrock has become synonymous with quality sod. This
reflects the fact that we begin with the best seed on good, fertile soil and
our staff of professionals know the "ins and outs" of raising a crop
of sod. That's why people expect the best from Shamrock.
Shamrock Turf Nurseries is a family owned sod operation located in Momence IL.
This farm is engaged solely in the growing and selling of quality turf grass.
Shamrock Turf Nurseries has been in business since 1960. Obviously, we have
learned a great deal about the sod business in this period of time. And, our
professional staff concentrates strictly on one product to make sure our quality
standards are continually met.
Shamrock
Turf grows a mixture of four blends of blue grass. Working closely with
research departments at Purdue, and The University of Illinois, Shamrock
selects those varieties of Bluegrass that are best for the Indiana and
Illinois region. Shamrock 721 Sod is a blend of advanced bluegrasses selected
for their ability to deliver top performance, year after year, under
midwestern climate conditions.
Adaptable to full sun or moderate shade. The growing of quality sod requires
about 14 to 18 months and much scientific know-how. The seed beds are prepared
in a very particular manner and the leveling of the land is of the utmost
importance in order to form a near perfect seedbed. After the seed is planted,
irrigation is a very necessary step in the growing process. Fertilizing,
mowing and weed control are the next steps in producing a crop of quality
turf.
Harvesting
the finished product is done with mechanical harvesters, and the sod which is
stacked on pallets is placed on trucks with forklifts and sent to it's
destination to be lawns for homes, commercial properties, athletic fields and
many other uses.

Shamrock
Sod is delivered over much of the states of Indiana and Illinois, and from
this comes our Motto that Shamrock Sod "COVERS THE FINEST LAND ON
EARTH". At Shamrock it is believed that the use of sod creates a more
beautiful neighborhood, community and country in which to live and work
