SOD FAQ’S

Sod is pre-planted grass that is ready to roll down on your home lawn, also referred to as turf grass. It is like putting a fresh sheet of green grass on your lawn. This process is much quicker and cleaner for servicing a lawn. Sod is held together by roots or thin materials that ensure it stays together. One of the big benefits of sod is that if you plant grass seed at your home, you cannot walk on the grass until it is finished. Sod is immediately ready to use; your beautiful lawn is ready to be walked and played on by you and your family.

Compared to planting grass seeds and spending many weeks or many months of constant time and stress, maintaining sod takes a fraction of the time. When you start a new lawn or overseed an existing lawn, it can be very time-consuming (watering, seeding, plugging your yard, waiting) and expensive (fertilizers, the cost of seed). Laying sod at your home can save you both time and money, the only maintenance your sod needs is watering. Laying sod instead of grass can save you both time and energy to enjoy your fresh green lawn quickly and allow you to enjoy a cold glass of lemonade instead of worrying about your grass seed.

Seeding your lawn requires constant maintenance and time. Here are the reasons to use sod instead on planting grass seed: *You may not be able to use your lawn for a couple months after seeding *You need to water your lawn daily *You have to keep up with the maintenance and use fertilizers *You need to ensure dogs and squirrels or rabbits don’t get the seeds! Did you know that many grass seeds come with weeds included in the bag? When you get weeds in your lawn, they tend to spread quickly and stick to the ground, making them hard to get out. Also, not all seeds are germinated through the water, and you would have to re-spread new seeds again.
