There are advantages to both seed and sod. Which process is used depends upon your budget and the scope of the project:

Sod is an almost instant solution and provides an immediate finished lawn look. A properly sodded lawn needs almost no attention besides watering. Sod plants are mature and capable of handling a new environment. One of the best things about sod is the minimal or non-existent amount of weeds that spring up. On slopes sod is the perfect match. It prevents erosion of the soil and eliminates mud when you water the sod. Seed on a hill can wash away without the right precautions. While the initial cost may be higher, in the long run the beauty of the lawn and energy needed to sustain growth are far less.

Seeding is the most basic form of growing grass and it can be applied in full sun to shade. In many applications seed is sufficient as long as you have the right base including proper soils, nutrition, fertilization and plenty of water. It takes a little more time and energy than sod, however it is less expensive and with the right attention can produce a happy and healthy lawn. We take pride in using top of the line seeding materials that produce proven results in our region.
