The common question in many households is whether to use seed or sod to grow the perfect lawn, especially as spring nears and more attention is placed on the yard. To help you decide, we've put together three benefits to using sod.
Instant lawn
Or as we like to say, "Real Grass, Real Fast." By sodding your lawn, you can enjoy a beautiful new lawn much more easily and quickly than you could with seed.
Less water
Seed requires much more maintenance and irrigation when installed, whereas sod, once established, won't dry out as fast and thus requires less water to stay moist.
Immediate use
You can gently use your sodded lawn immediately after installation, which is not the case when your lawn is seeded. It can take weeks for seed to begin showing results, and even then you can't use the seeded area, as the blades will still be delicate. While it is best to wait roughly four weeks to fully use a sodded lawn, immediate gentle use is permissible.
