Here are some more reasons to sod your lawn.
Planting grass seed can be time-consuming, and you are never guaranteed that it will thrive. If you want a vibrant, healthy green lawn this year, consider sod installation. Sod is the quickest way to cover your yard in vibrant grass. It also provides other benefits, including boosting property value and helping the environment. Here are some more reasons to sod your lawn.
Easy Installation
Sod comes in pre-grown rolls of grass. All you have to do is loosen the topsoil and roll the sod out onto the area. For larger lawns, you may wish to hire a professional to do this. To plant grass seed, on the other hand, you need to do much more soil prep and wait weeks for the grass to grow in. While you are waiting, lawn growth can be unsightly and patchy. With sod, you can have a beautiful lawn in under a day.
Absorbs Carbon Dioxide
Sod is harvested after natural planting and then held by a root system or biodegradable base. The sod experts then transfer the layers to your property for installation. Therefore, unlike artificial grass, sod supports natural plant processes, such as photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis, grass absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, which translates to reduced greenhouse gases on your property. Sod also absorbs the potentially dangerous hydrogen fluoride and peroxyacetyl nitrates.
Sod blades can also capture dust, preventing it from floating in the air. Therefore, sod can help enhance your overall air quality.
Requires Less Maintenance
Sod is mature grass, which means that you don’t have to give it too much attention like seeded lawns. You only need to water new sod twice a day during the first couple of months, then water it like normal after that. Seeded lawns, however, require water and herbicides to achieve the desired look. Also, since you don’t need to apply herbicides or fertilizers regularly, sod is an ideal option for busy homeowners.
Prevents Soil Erosion
Since sod is mature, it can grip your bare soil and prevent it from erosion. This means that you are unlikely to experience soil erosion around your property. With bare soil, your property can get muddy when it rains, and soil can be spread all over. Sod covers the soil and prevents this problem.
Soil erosion is also a major challenge with seeded lawns. When it rains heavily, water can wash away soil, leaving a bumpy lawn. Therefore, sod is a better lawn option that fully protects the soil, especially in regions with high rainfall.
Reduces Noise
The thick layer of sod absorbs noise, which means that you won’t be irritated by passing cars. Although sod doesn’t block sound entirely, it significantly reduces noise. Sod is like exterior carpet; when your house doesn’t have carpet, footsteps echo louder.
