Laying sod is a great way to maintain a green and healthy lawn:
For an instant green lawn, a great alternative to seeding your lawn is laying sod. Sod is a living grass that has been grown on farms. Sod farmers sow different types of grasses or combinations of grasses in large fields to create hardy, weed-free lawns. They then harvest the sod by slicing an inch or so into the soil underneath the blanket of grass to separate the grass roots and soil from the soil underneath it. The grass plants, roots, and soil are all in one sheet that is sliced into long strips and rolled up. The carpet of soil and dense grass can be then rolled out to create an instant, permanent lawn. The sod must be carefully cut and fitted together to ensure an even carpet, but once laid, sod needs only thorough watering to encourage growth. Once the roots grow down into the existing soil, the lawn is established.
Installing sod has many advantages over growing grass from seed. Because it contains a layer of topsoil, sod can help prevent erosion. Though usually more expensive than grass seed, sod installation is an easy and quick process that instantly adds beauty and value to a property. Sod is an excellent choice for someone just buying a home or trying to beautify a home for a quick sale, as creates an instant lush, green lawn. Sod is also superior to grass seeding because it can be laid any time of year. Sod grass can establish itself in the soil year round if the ground is not frozen, whereas grass seeds grow best in spring. Sod grass is also healthier than seed grass because it was professionally grown using the ideal soil and conditions for the grass. Sod also makes for a denser lawn, creating an even carpet of grass. Even with the best seed spreaders, a lawn grown from seed can have patches or spots. With sod, grass plants are sown close together to ensure an even carpet of green.
Healthy sod is available from garden centers, nurseries, or directly from sod farmers. Some sod farmers will even deliver to your property. Make sure to pick a sod that has a grass or combinations of grasses that are suitable for your local climate. In hot weather areas like Orlando sod should be of native grasses. Make sure to ask which grass is in your sod. As well as climate, the health of your sod is vital to a beautiful lawn. There are several signs of healthy sod. First, look for dense grass that is longer than two inches. The sod grass should be a uniform green, and the soil around the grass roots should be moist. You should be able to see a tightly knit matrix of roots in the soil, which shouldn’t be thicker than one inch.
By following these guidelines, you can instantly beautify your property using sod installation on your lawn. Sod creates a permanent lawn that is lush, green, even, and weed free, without the hassle of seeding and waiting.
