Establishing a new lawn can be done in two primary ways: laying sod or planting seed. Each method has its pros and cons. Sod offers instant results and can be walked on in just a few weeks, making it ideal for quick transformations. However, it’s more expensive upfront and requires precise installation.
Seeding is more affordable and allows for deeper root development, but it takes longer to establish and is more vulnerable to weeds and erosion in the beginning. The best choice depends on your budget, timeline, and maintenance expectations. A landscaping professional can help determine the best option for your property.
