That legacy of excellence continues today with our premium line of Marathon seed, designed for customers who want to grow the same lush, green, and durable lawns we’ve become famous for.

The Gramckow family has always taken pride in innovating and improving the sod-growing process, and Marathon seed is the result of decades of research, field testing, and soil science. Whether you're looking to overseed an existing lawn or start fresh from bare soil, Marathon seed offers unmatched performance, reliability, and beauty.

What Is Marathon Seed?Marathon seed is a proprietary turfgrass seed blend developed exclusively by Southland Sod Farms. It combines the most resilient and attractive tall fescue varieties to produce lawns that are not only lush and green but also drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, and easy to maintain. These traits make Marathon seed one of the top choices for Southern California homeowners and landscaping professionals.

The seed is designed to thrive in the region’s Mediterranean climate, withstanding both the summer heat and mild winters. Whether you’re dealing with clay soils, sloped landscapes, or heavy foot traffic, Marathon seed establishes quickly and holds up under pressure.

Benefits of Using Marathon SeedChoosing Marathon seed means investing in a lawn that performs year after year. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Quick Germination – Marathon seed germinates quickly and uniformly, ensuring a fast, even lawn establishment.
• Dark Green Color – The seed blend produces a rich, deep-green turf that enhances your home’s curb appeal.
• Drought Tolerance – Engineered to need less water than many traditional seed blends, perfect for California’s dry climate.
• Durability – With strong root systems and dense growth, Marathon lawns are perfect for children, pets, and active outdoor living.
• Low Maintenance – Once established, Marathon grass requires less mowing and fewer inputs than many common lawn types.
