Why Choose SOD?

SOD, or sod, offers numerous advantages over traditional seeding methods when it comes to establishing a new lawn quickly and effectively.
It consists of mature grass that has already been grown and professionally cultivated into a thin layer of soil. When installed, it provides an instant green carpet that can be enjoyed immediately.

Here are some key benefits of choosing SOD for your lawn:

  • Erosion Control: SOD helps prevent soil erosion, making it ideal for sloped areas and locations prone to runoff.
  • Weed Reduction: SOD reduces the chances of weed growth compared to seeded lawns, thanks to its dense coverage and mature grass.

  • Enhanced Property Value: A well-maintained SOD lawn enhances curb appeal and increases property value.
