Bos Sod Farms Inc started growing sod in British Columbia in 1993, to service the residential and commercial market with quality sod. Since that time we have changed our focus to service the professional market; namely athletic fields and golf courses with a special focus on sod products for greens. The service area includes the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada. Our sister farm Bos Sod in located in Coaldale, AB and grows sod for the Southern Alberta & South Western BC market. Bos Sod Farms is owned and operated by Bert and Debbie Bos, and were privileged to win the 2007 Outstanding Young Farmers Award of BC
The majority of our sod products are grown on 3mm washed sand, compatible with USGA root zone mixes. including 25 acres of greens sod; bentgrass varieties and Native Poa Annua. Our bentgrass fields are fumigated to eliminate unwanted grasses and other pests. Great care is taken to produce a top quality product for the discerning end user. We continually review and improve growing procedures, equipment developments, input products, cultural practices, and keep striving to raise the quality bar.
Customers that do long term renovation planning can order their sod 1 year in advance. This allows us to custom tailor sod products to suit the customer's needs and grow "Just in time sod inventory" thereby ensuring sod availability and competitive prices. Sodding vs. seeding can save time and money. On new construction, with sodding the owner is better able to schedule opening dates and allow for pre-marketing their golf course product. By reducing the construction time the golf course can become a "turn-key" facility.
On existing golf courses, while doing renovation work, the areas can be kept out of play much shorter by sodding, resulting in less disruption to the golfer and earlier opening dates; thereby creating more revenue for the golf course. Sodding gives the renovation job an instant professional and "finished look", hence increasing customer satisfaction, which will keep the golfer coming back.
We hope that you will find the information you need on our website; please contact us if you need more information and let us know how we can serve you.
