If you’re looking at options to establish your lawn, sod should be at the top of your list. Also known as turf grass, this material consists of pre-planted grass and roots that are sold in individual sections. As winter turns to spring, you might be looking for ways to transform your home’s landscape with a lush, green lawn. Here are three reasons sod is an excellent choice.

Essential Benefits of Using Sod

1. Convenience

Grass seed requires special care, but a sodded yard is simple: just roll it out, and let nature take care of the rest. Because the grass is already pre-grown, sod can help control erosion, filtering dirt and dust as soon as it is installed. On the other hand, you’ll have to wait several weeks before a seeded lawn begins to grow as well as perform more maintenance.


2. Water Efficiency

Grass seed needs to stay moist to grow, but you’ll save money on your water bill when you switch to a sodded yard. This material doesn’t dry out as quickly, so you only need to water it twice daily, depending on your climate and the time of year.


3. Aesthetics

Grass seed takes weeks to establish, so you’ll have to look at patchy areas while your lawn grows. Meanwhile, sod will provide you with an almost-instant lawn, which makes it a wonderful choice for home remodeling on a specific schedule.


There’s a reason homeowners use sod: it provides better, faster results than grass seeding alone. Once you install it, you can begin enjoying your lawn in two to four weeks — just in time for spring!
