PARK(ing) on a budget? Free sod at Kern Landscaping!
PARK(ing) Day participant Molly Balcom tipped us off to a local landscaping supplier willing to let PARK(ing) Day participants scavenge around in their “sod pile” for usable sod.

By sod pile, we literally mean huge pile of sod scrap that people have dumped on their premises. The amount and quality of sod you might find there depends on what has recently been dumped, so the only way to know what is there at any given moment is to go check it out.
On Saturday we jumped in the car with Molly to go see it for ourselves and, as you can see in the picture above, found enough good sod for her to piece together a nice PARK(ing) space. Whether or not she can keep it alive until Friday is another question! (Molly, we’re expecting updates.)
So if you’re PARK(ing) on a budget, it’s definitely worth a trip out to Kern Landscaping to see what they’ve got on hand. They’re open on Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5:30PM.
