Nearly all homeowners dream of a green lawn that will be the envy of their neighbors. There are pros and cons to each type of grass seed. No matter how large your property is, a new lawn will require a significant investment in both time and money. However, the amount depends on which option you choose. We, a team of experts, can help you make an informed decision and provide all information about sod installations.

What is sod?

Sod can be used in both commercial and residential landscaping to instantly change the appearance and value of the property. Sod, also known as turf grass, is a section of grass that has been grown and is held together by a root system. These are some of the common uses:

• Golf courses
• Lawns for homes, businesses, and schools
• Recreational fields

Professional sod installation is not only visually appealing but also offers many other benefits, such as:

• Controlling erosion and prevention of slopes and new construction
• Improved water quality and air quality
• Improved drainage can prevent flooding

The Pros and Cons of Sod

There are many arguments in favor and against sod when it comes to grass seed vs. sod. These are the pros and cons of sod that will help you choose the right product for your home.

Pros

• Speed - Sod is the best choice to prevent soil erosion. Sod provides immediate protection and stability and can also control storm run-off velocity and direction. It can also improve drainage in areas where grass seed would normally be washed away.
  
• Flexibility - You can plant sod at any time during the year, provided the ground is not frozen. The seed has a narrow window of opportunity when the temperatures are too hot or cold.
  
• Reliability – Grass seeds may easily dry out, blow away, or become washed away or not germinate. However, a sod installation has already been established.
  
• Time savings - After the sod is laid and watered for approximately two to three weeks, you can start to walk, run, or play on your newly-installed lawn.
  
• Forgiveness - Many varieties of sod can be planted quickly and are more durable than seed. Although sod requires watering every day, it is less likely to fail due to neglect, loss of seeds, or wind erosion.

Cons

• Cost - Sod can be more costly than grass seed and may not be affordable for larger areas. For best results, professionals should install sod.
  
• Limited choices - There are many grass seeds to choose from, which is better than sod.
  
• Replacement - Some sections of the sod might not grow and need to be removed.
