Sod v. Seed – Which is best for you?

August 20th, 2012 by ewcAdmin

A well-manicured lawn that has been beautifully maintained with regular fertilizer treatments, ample water, regular grass trimmings and more can add appeal to your home for many years. However, between the effects of extreme fluctuations in weather, pests, grass fungal growth and more, even the most well-manicured lawn may require re-seeding or re-sodding from time to time. If your lawn in your Essex CT, Clinton CT or Centerbrook CT home is showing signs that it is in distress, you may benefit from re-seeding or re-sodding efforts. However, you may be unsure about which is best for your needs.

Cost is certainly a factor to consider when debating between re-seeding or re-sodding your yard in Guilford CT, Old Saybrook CT or Westbrook CT. Reseeding is generally considerably more affordable than re-sodding. However, cost is only one consideration that you should take into account. Grass seeds don’t always grow in a thick, luscious coat as you had planned. Issues with bad seeds, placing seeds in clusters or clumps and more can all affect how evenly new seed growth is established. Laying fresh sod, on the other hand, will ensure that growth is even and lustrous from the start.

The time of year when you consider re-seeding or re-sodding your yard in Deep River CT, Madison CT or Ivoryton CT may also be a factor. Seed will require ample sunshine, plenty of water and relatively warm water. While sod will also require these things, it may become established in your hard more quickly than tender seedlings would. With this in mind, if the warmer months are drawing to a close, you may consider using sod rather than seed. There are many factors to consider before re-seeding or re-sodding your yard. Consider talking to your landscaping professional for customized advice that is right for your home’s needs.
