Transform Your Lawn from Brown to Green with Sod and Seeding
Whether your property comprises a quarter acre or five acres, you want it always to look its best. Yet, when your grass is dry and dying out, the aesthetics of your yard are anything but appealing. Hence, one of the best ways to revitalize your property is with lush green grass. Nothing ruins a great landscape design faster than a lawn full of weeds, brown spots, or bald spots. At Mark Hoerr Landscaping, we use sod and seeding to make sure your lawn continues to look healthy and vibrant year after year. Call today to schedule a consultation!
Sod or Seeding: Which is Best for Your Yard?
There are many benefits and disadvantages of sod and seeding, depending on your property’s needs. Contact us today for a one-on-one consultation, and we can help you decide which option is best. Here’s some of what you can expect when choosing either sod or seed for your lawn’s revitalization:
Sod
If you are ready to get your lawn in top shape with minimal time and energy spent, then laying sod is the best option for you. Since sod is already mature grass, you don’t have to wait weeks on end for it to grow. Within a couple of weeks, your new sod grass will take root and be ready for everyday use.
Sod also requires you to spend time watering it to help it stay healthy as its roots begin to grow. However, sod requires much less watering than seeding. It also has other benefits that seeding doesn’t, such as there are no seeds to be blown away or washed away by rain. Additional benefits entail:
- Instant results with a lush, green lawn
- Reduced erosion and immediate ground coverage
- Fewer weeds compared to traditional seeding methods
- It can be installed any time of year when the ground isn’t frozen
- Provides durable and even coverage for high-traffic areas
- Minimizes soil compaction and improves uniformity in appearance
Seeding
Between sod and seeding, sod may seem like the most obvious choice, but that’s not necessarily true. Seeding may take more time and have a few more risks, but at Mark Hoerr Landscaping, we do everything we can to avoid these risks and minimize their impact.
If you’re not in a hurry and don’t mind doing a little bit more upkeep, then seeding has several advantages over laying sod. Seeding is significantly less expensive and offers a much greater variety of grass. Some of seeding’s additional benefits include:
- Stronger root systems, resulting in a healthier and more resilient lawn
- Greater adaptability to local soil and climate conditions
- A more natural and uniform look, reducing the likelihood of patchy areas.
- More unique grass types to choose from
- Long-term cost savings compared to the higher initial expense of sod
