While seeding a lawn is less expensive than laying turf, seedlings require extensive care as they begin to take root. In addition, there are few times during the year when seeding can be done successfully, since new seedlings can't endure excessive heat or cold snaps. While turf can be difficult to install, it offers several advantages over seeding.
Advantages of Sod Turf Versus a Seeded Lawn
- Installed turf can be used immediately, while seedlings cannot be walked on during early growth.
- Seed is more prone to being displaced with heavy rains, which may wash seeds from high areas onto low terrain.
- Sod is more hearty and less dependent upon perfect soil temperatures when installing.
- It is more difficult for weeds to establish themselves in sodded lawns than it is among new seedlings.
As with other gardening ventures, it is important to properly prepare the soil before turfing or seeding. Do-it-yourself homeowners may want to consider breaking up large lawns into small, manageable areas for soil preparation and sod installation. After renting a grass cutter and removing the old sod, taking time to do soil testing and soil amendment will help ensure the prosperity of new grass.
