A Turf In A Time
Pace, Selection, and Effortless Routine Maintenance
Sod's big benefit over seed is pace. From soil preparation to final layout, it's possible to put in a modest-sized sod lawn in one day. That's an attractive thought: dust and weeds in the morning and a green lawn in the evening! Sod has other features to suggest it, too.
Sure Selection
If you purchase sod from a trustworthy local grower, you are guaranteed to get a grass that develops well in your area. The gardener may offer numerous options, from low to high servicing, for illustration. Also, some enhanced versions, such as 'Tifgreen' Bermuda, are obtainable only as sod.
Ease
You can lay sod at nearly any time of year, even when the soil is somewhat frozen or during the heat of summer (although you'll need to water more in summer). In comparability, only spring and fall offer completely positive circumstances for sowing most seed lawns, although late spring is good for seeding heat-lovers such as Bermuda and buffalo grasses.
Smooth Start
Yes, you'll have to baby a new sod lawn for a few of weeks, but that's far less time and effort than for a seeded lawn. Until new sod determines roots in the soil, it needs watering twice a day, and occasionally more often, during hot weather. In comparison, keeping a newly seeded lawn moist may require a dozen watering a day.
Fewer Weeds
New sod lawns undergo only slightly from weed invasions. Most soils include many weed seeds that are just waiting around for the prospect to grow, and right after you prepare and amend soil, sow grass seed, and provide water, weed-growth problems are perfect. Unless you've taken steps to remove or reduce weed seeds in the soil before planting, weeds may overrun a seeded lawn.
Specific Uses for Sod
Sod is especially useful where patches of lawn have become bare, weedy, or damaged. Winter use of street salt in northern regions is one major cause of damage. After getting rid of the threadbare turf and planning the soil for planting, you can buy a roll or two of sod at a garden midsection and place it over the area. Again, a seeded lawn would consider numerous weeks to load in and look lush.
