Is a sod lawn better than a seed lawn?
Choosing a sod lawn installation over seed is based on priorities, expectations and budget of the decision maker. While seed is less expensive than sod at the time of installation, seed takes more time, energy and water to establish. The added establishment cost for seed lawns makes the relative cost of seed and sod similar over the long run. Ultimately both provide the opportunity for a beautiful, lush lawn. “Better” is in the eyes of the beholder.
