Seed and sod are both among the best ways to restore a yard’s vibrance. When your lawn’s been damaged or simply could use some improvements, growing new grass or installing a sod lawn can instantly improve the way it looks. Both options have numerous advantages depending on your needs. Here’s what to consider.
Seeding
Seeding involves adding new seeds into your turf. The seeds are planted into the ground, allowing for a more detailed lawn renovation. Here are a few things you should know:
- Lawns that have been newly seeded must be watered regularly as seeds will die if they dry out.
- Fall is the best time to seed, as temperatures are optimal for growth.
- In order for the seeds to germinate, soil temperatures need to be a minimum of 55°F.
- Seeds should be watered daily for at least 15 minutes to ensure they are adequately moisturized.
- We recommend pairing seeding with aeration or a top dressing service for maximum results.
Sod Installation
Sod is another great option that we provide. With sod, you get a beautiful lawn in less time, and it’s an affordable option for most homeowners and business owners.
- Sod is a roll of a layer of dirt that contains grass attached by the roots, providing a natural appearance.
- You get an instant lawn with no waiting period: we roll it out, and it’s good to go.
- It boasts a high success rate as many sod lawns do very well with proper care and maintenance.
- Since the grass is already grown, there’s a far less likely chance that you’ll see weeds or other issues.
What Are the Benefits of Overseeding and Sod Installation?
Both overseeding and sod installation have their own benefits. They help you achieve a greener, fuller lawn, which is beneficial in the case that your lawn is patchy or has areas where grass doesn’t regrow on its own. Lawns often become damaged due to drought, too much or too little sun exposure, weeds, mildew and various pests. Seed and sod can replenish the lawn and fill in empty or unpleasant looking sections, improving the overall beauty of your lawn.

We can help you make the best choice based on your timeline, budget, and lawn goals. Seeding is a great, cost-effective option for renovations of specific areas, while sodding provides you with an instant, beautiful lawn perfect for quick transformations. During our consultation, we can assess your property and guide you to the ideal solution.
To give your new seed the best chance to flourish, we prepare the soil by removing weeds and debris. We also highly recommend aeration, which loosens compacted soil and allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots for maximum growth potential.
Your new sod needs time to get rooted—literally—into your property. We recommend waiting about two weeks before allowing heavy use, which gives the roots time to firmly anchor into the soil and create a durable, resilient surface.
For a seeded lawn, wait until the new grass is about 3 inches tall. For a sod lawn, you can typically mow after about two weeks, once the roots have begun to take hold. Make sure to use a sharp mower blade to avoid damaging the new grass.
