Why should you consider installing a new lawn?
This is a common question from customers looking to create a new lawn area, and the answer really depends on three key factors:
-
How will the new lawn be used?
-
What is your overall budget?
-
Are you on a time crunch?
If you have children or pets who frequently use your lawn, keeping them off a newly seeded area might be challenging. In this case, sod is typically the better choice, although it comes with a higher cost compared to traditional grass seed. With sod, you’ll have a lush green lawn within a day or two, and it will continue to flourish and look even better in a week or two after installation.
The sod will look like a beautiful lawn right from day one, though you may notice some visible seams from where the sod was rolled out. These will blend in after a week or two, creating a seamless, stunning lawn.
On the other hand, with grass seed, it will take several weeks before you have a fully established lawn. In many cases, the cost savings aren’t as significant as it seems, as you’ll need to spend more time on final grading for grass seed—because it’s less forgiving than sod.
If you're on a time constraint, such as hosting a big party or special event like a wedding, sod is the more reliable option to ensure your lawn looks spectacular for the occasion.
