Seed or Sod?
Depending on the variety of grass you select, you can seed your lawn for as little as $0.05 per square foot versus $0.25 per square foot for sod. The main investment will be your time and labor. Sod, unlike seed, offers an instant lawn of thick, weed-free, healthy grass. You will need to fertilize it and keep it moist until the roots take, which requires your dedicated attention and time.
