Benefits Of SOd
- Sod helps reduce soil erosion by providing a strong layer of grass that holds the soil in place and prevents water runoff. This helps to maintain healthy soil nutrient levels and protect nearby vegetation from harm.
- Sod can help reduce air pollution levels by trapping dust particles and other pollutants in the area. This is because the dense root system of sod traps these particles in its intricate network, preventing them from entering into the atmosphere.
- Sod helps regulate temperature by keeping surfaces cooler during hot summer days and warmer during cold winter days than if they were left bare. This can be beneficial for both humans and plants alike as it creates an ideal environment for growth.

Why Choose Sod Over Seed?
When landscaping your lawn, the choice between sod and seed can be a tricky one. While both have their benefits, there are several reasons why you should choose sod over seed when installing a new lawn.
Sod Gives Instant Gratification
One of the biggest advantages of choosing sod over seed is that you get instant gratification. With sodding, you get an immediate result – in many cases, your lawn will look perfect after installation. In contrast, seeding can take weeks or even months before you see a significant amount of growth.
Sod Is Less Maintenance
Sodding requires significantly less maintenance than seeding because it's already established grass. After laying down the sod and watering it thoroughly, the turf generally requires little to no additional care outside of routine mowing and fertilizing. Compared to seeding which requires consistent watering, weeding and possible re-seeding with each season – sodding offers much less maintenance overall.
Sod Suppresses Weeds
Finally, sodding also offers denser lawns than seeded alternatives do – since sodded grass is already established, weeds and pests are much less likely to take hold in your newly laid turf. For those looking for a pristine green lawn free from pests or weeds, this is an important factor to consider when choosing between sodded and seeded options!

Sod Care
Before You Order Sod
Sod is alive. If you want to enjoy it's benefits in your yard you need to keep it that way. Sod is cut fresh for each order, and palletized soon after it's cut. The sooner the sod is laid the better. You need to plan to lay the sod the same day as you receive it. Have all your prep work done prior to receiving the sod. Make sure the area is tilled, or the new topsoil is spread. If you are hiring help to lay it make sure they are scheduled before you order. If you are doing a particularly large area maybe plan for two deliveries so you aren't scrambling to get it all laid that day. Sod can survive beyond a day on a pallet, it's just not good for it. If for some reason you can't lay it that day, make sure you keep it wet and out of direct sun. Covering it with a tarp helps.
Once you lay the sod wet it as soon as it's down. You want to encourage the roots to begin growing again into the new soil. If it's a hot day you want to soak the sod as you go. Do not install the entire area over the course of hours then go back to wet the first area, you want to prevent it from drying out. If it's not a very hot day it's not crucial to do that. But installing sod in July or August requires special care to prevent the sod from dying. Spring is the ideal time to lay sod as the temperatures are cooler, and we receive frequent rain.
Sod ordering should be done in advance. Since we have to plan the deliveries we recommend giving us a week notice. Often we can deliver sooner but it is not guaranteed. Ordering sod isn't as simple as ordering mulch or other landscape supplies. It needs to be planned and preparation usually needs to be done ahead of time.
