Benefits of Installing Sod
1. Sod produces an instant lawn
Installing Sod is the fastest way to have a great lawn at your residence or business.
2. Once the sod is installed, sod requires less irrigation
A seeded lawn needs to be watered up to 4 times per day, while a sodded lawn requires only 2 times per day for a few weeks after its planted.
3. Sod makes a denser lawn with no bare spots
Sod pieces are tightly put together to produce a clean and even lawn.
4. Sod prevents soil erosion
Sod controls dust, mud, and erosion because it is already fully grown. New Sod restores yards that become muddy after rain.
5. Sod can increase value to your home
The landscaping of your lawn is just as important as the interior of your home. Sod produces an instant green and healthy lawn.
