Q
Should I sod or seed my lawn?
Q
What type of turf should I use in my lawn?
A
Nothing enhances a landscape more than a beautiful lawn. What’s the quickest way to achieve that beauty? Sod. A sodded lawn needs no special care because it is a healthy mature lawn when installed, unlike a sprigged or seeded lawn which requires years of nurturing to reach maturity. After it has been installed, just water, mow and fertilize as needed and it will remain a healthy, green carpet of grass requiring very little maintenance.
