A freshly cut green lawn adds the finishing touch to a home. It is possible to plant sod quickly, even though it takes patience, skill and time.

Here are some benefits of sod installation that homeowners should consider when installing a new lawn.

What can sod installation do to your landscaping?

Speed

Seeds can take several weeks to reach their full height and establish roots. You can have your lawn back in no time at all with sod.

Weather

The right temperature and moisture are essential for growing grass from seeds. If there is too much rain or too much heat, your lawn will grow faster than you intended.

When installed, sod is stronger and can withstand harsh weather conditions more effectively.

Timing

Depending on the type of grass being grown, seeds must be planted at the correct time. But, sod can still be installed if the ground isn’t frozen. This allows you to take more time in installing your lawn.

Water

It is essential to water your seeds for the first few weeks after they are planted. You must be careful not to overwater the seeds. Newly planted sod doesn’t require as much watering.

Success rate

It is difficult to plant grass seeds from seeds. Many homeowners have had their lawns ripped up to plant new grass. However, the result was often patchy, muddy and unattractive. A new lawn will be 100% covered by sod.

The control of erosion

Grass is a natural erosion control agent. Sod that has been installed from seed is fully mature and can begin to perform its duties immediately. One rainstorm can lead to soil erosion if grass is allowed to grow from seeds.

There’s less patchwork

Newly-sown lawns may fill in in certain places, but not others. After seeding, you will need to do some patchwork. A sodded lawn is evenly laid and leaves no bare spots.
