Sod, also known as turf, is pregrown grass that comes in rolls that are easy to install. Whether you’ve just moved into a newly constructed home or want to revamp your outdoor areas, you might wonder whether to choose sod or seed to flesh out your lawn. Below, you’ll learn more about the benefits of choosing sod over seed for renewing the yard.

4 Perks of Sod Over Seed

sod1. Save Time

Sod allows you to instantly enjoy a fresh, green lawn rather than having to wait for grass to grow from seeds. Turf takes just a few hours to install on your lot, whereas seeding may take anywhere from a year to 18 months. 

2. Less Watering 

When you spread seed on your lawn, you’ll need to water it every day for at least the first four to six weeks. Turf, on the other hand, only needs daily watering during the first two weeks after installation. Once it settles, you’ll only have to water it once or twice per week.

3. Fewer Erosion Risks

Seeds are vulnerable to runoff and erosion. If you live on sloped land or in an area that receives plenty of rainfall, your seeds may wash away before they germinate. Installing sod absorbs excess moisture and strengthens the soil to prevent erosion.

4. Year-Round Installation

Whereas seed must be spread during fall or spring, you can install sod year-round. It is available in a variety of blends that can thrive in many different types of weather conditions, allowing you to enjoy green grass throughout the changing seasons.
