Fresh Cut Sod
Get a great lawn fast! Our sod is grown in house, so we know that its top quality. We grow Black Beauty, a fescue so green you have to see it to believe it! This native grass mix puts roots down 4' deep for exemplary drought tolerance, and it has fantastic resistance to disease and insect damage. On top of all that, it will grow in shade as well as sun! Pick up a roll for a quick patch job, or call Stone Market 309-689-2513 to custom order sod for a new lawn.

Ornamental Grasses
Stirred by every breath of wind, ornamental grasses are great for adding poetry and motion to your garden.

The tall varieties are great for screening off an ugly electrical box, softening a fence, or providing quick privacy. The smaller varieties can soften edges and fill in spaces. Left standing through winter, ornamental grasses also attract songbirds.
Tip: If you've got shade but you still want the look of an ornamental grass, try sedges, lily turf, or Japanese hakone grass.
