To Seed Or To Sod,which Method To Go?
Right here it is, you have a amazingly equipped portion of area that you want to set grass on but the question is still bothering you. Should I seed or sod? This question is not difficult to respond to, you just have to be truthful to yourself when it comes down to a couple of questions.
You should ask yourself if you can pay for to do the option of sod. If you do not have the bucks to do sod then do you have the extra time to put into doing seed?
If you are on a spending budget, seeding is the way to go. Seeding does have an original start up cost (especially if you have by no means accomplished it before). The tools needed are not too costly but are a necessity. If you truly desired to, you could probably lease some of them to help lower some of the costs. But the basics I would recommend you buy are a decent seed spreader, a round point digging shovel, a spade shovel, and a good garden rake.
I do really want to note here that seeding is a lot more time consuming than laying sod. You do need to make a reasoning call here to determine if you have the time in your day to put into this strategy. There are possibilities to putting in all that time. There are a number of soil covers on the market that you could use that requires little or no mowing. But to save time costs you money, so make your selections mindfully.
Planting seed is best done in the late summer or early fall. The cooler temperatures and added precipitation enable for accelerated germination of the seeds. Different grasses grow in different climates. To make confident you select the appropriate seed, make sure you talk to a sod supplier or nursery that understands the growing conditions and temperature of your area so he can suggest the right type. This is not a part of the lawn you want to cheap out on here. This is a great example of you get what you pay for. Considering the seed is the least expensive part of the lawn anyway, so what if you spend a few more bucks. You will be rewarded with a nice healthy lawn year after 12 months.
Starting a lawn from sod is by far the speediest way to have a lawn. The truck pulls up, unloads and you start rolling, right? Well sort of. You will have that lawn right away but there is still a lot of work to make sure it seems great year after year. First thing to understand is you have to lay your sod in either the spring or the fall. In no way lay sod in the heat of summer or the end of the season. The heat can burn the sod and the cold will kill it if the roots have not had a likelihood to take hold yet.
Sod is a great choice to seed on sloping areas too. Seed tends to wash down the slope from watering and raining.
So it all comes down to both sides have their pros and cons but whichever way you decide to go with your lawn(if done appropriately) will give you a beautiful and healthy lawn you can be proud of.
