Turf lines that fit Yakima

All nine lines ship here at the same price as anywhere else, $2.60 to $3.50 per square foot. These are the ones we would start with for this climate.

The $10 comes off a later turf order. Turf is cut to your length and cannot be returned, so a sample is the safe first step.

Delivery to Yakima

Turf ships by freight on a pallet within 3 days of your order. Delivery to a commercial address with a dock or forklift is free. Delivery to a home address is $200, which pays for the liftgate truck. Rolls are 15 ft wide and heavy; plan where the pallet will sit. Samples ship by parcel, included in the $10.
