If you are planning to landscape your property’s yard or planning to replace the existing one, installing a sod in your property can be a good option over seeding your lawn as sod will help you save your hardly earned money, will prevent use of water, will minimize time and will maximize the beauty of your property.

Sod can be referred to a smart investment to your property. Though grass seeds are cheaper and can be bought easily from a local hardware and home care stores but the lawns with these grass seeds have hidden costs which make them expensive from the sod, making the sod worth using.

If you are really thinking to invest in sod, there are few points which should be kept in mind:

First thing is planning. Plan before buying your sod. Make a diagram of your lawn including its measurements. Once it is measured, take your drawing to your sod provider and take help from him in calculating the account measurement of sod you need to buy for your property.

Secondly, clean up your lawn, as in, remove the rocks and break the large clumps of soil. Once it is done, check for whether your topsoil is fertilized. Check whether there is any rock, holes or clump in the lawn.

After that finally use the lawn roller to set the soil down.

The time and effort which you will invest in planning and installing your sod, you will realize your decision to be a good one.

Though we understand that a grass seed is cheaper enough than sod, but the aftereffects are in favor of sod over grass seed.

Weed cannot be seen in the sod; whereas seeded grass grows the grass you wanted but also grows the seeds for weeds which you do not want.

Seeded grass is not naturally protected from erosion and wind whereas sod is.

Lawn with seeded grass may require reseeding the patches so that the lawn is properly covered with grass which indirectly increases the cost of seeded grass, making sod a better option for your property.
