Sod provides numerous advantages over seed. Sod offers an instant, uniform, and weed-free lawn, whereas seed takes time to grow and can be uneven. Sod reduces erosion immediately and requires less water to establish compared to seed. With sod, you get immediate visual appeal and usability, as it becomes a fully usable lawn in just 2-3 weeks. Sod has better coverage uniformity and is more effective for erosion control. It can be installed in various seasons, making it a versatile choice. While the initial cost of sod is higher than seed, it offers long-term savings in water, weed control, and overall maintenance. These benefits make sod a superior choice for many homeowners looking for a quick, reliable, and beautiful lawn.
