Sod vs. Seed

Planting sod can give you an instant, lush lawn, while over seeding takes more time but can allow you to selectively improve and fill in bare spots. 

Sod is typically more expensive and may not always establish as well in certain soil or climate conditions, while over seeding can be a more cost-effective and sustainable option if done correctly. 

Ultimately, the choice between the two options will depend on factors such as your budget, the condition of your existing lawn, and your personal preferences.

Seeding involves spreading grass seed over an existing lawn or bare soil. This method is usually cheaper than sodding, but it takes longer for the grass to grow and establish. Over seeding can improve the overall health and appearance of your lawn, especially if you have bare spots or areas with thin grass. 

On the other hand, sodding involves laying down pre-grown turf onto the soil. Although this method is more expensive than seeding, it provides instant gratification with a beautiful and uniform lawn. Sodding is a great choice if you don't want to wait for the grass to grow and want to enjoy your new lawn right away. However, sod may not establish as well in certain soil or climate conditions, and it requires more maintenance in the beginning stages.
