Why should someone choose sod for their lawn? With the summer months approaching fast, your front lawn will have 30 degrees less temperature than what you’d find with rock or asphalt. In addition, sod will be 15 degrees lower in temperature than dirt, and during the summer, the lawn will have an effect similar to numerous air conditioners. The grass takes in carbon dioxide, and it releases oxygen back into the environment. With this choice, you have a more environmentally friendly option that lowers the amount of greenhouse gases.
Establishing a Lawn with Sod
One of most reliable methods of creating a front lawn is to use sod. Because our company takes the time to create the sod from seed, it will reach maturity by the time it reaches your home so that you have the perfect lawn. Proper care for your front sodded yard, and you will have a great lawn within 3 weeks. In addition, installing sod on a lawn takes between 3 to 6 hours, and it does not cost much. People should choose our sod company because:
Why Seeding Makes Less Sense
You might believe that seeding will cost less. That might be true at first, but a lot of costs will continue happening because of erosion. Also, if you have people walking on newly seeded grass, it can mean that it does not grow. You will have to pay for seeding and watering the lawn. Not to mention, it can take between 2 to 3 weeks before you start to see the fruits of your labor. It takes time to nurture and care for these lawns. Why wait a few months before you can use it?
When you use sod, you can walk on it after a couple weeks have passed. Sod also has maximum flexibility in that you can install it as long as the ground has not been frozen. Also, you do not have to use as much water to establish it.
When you have great landscaping on your home, it adds around 20% value to your home. With well-cut grass, it becomes a soft and welcoming surface where children can play. You can also relax on it because of the softness. For further information, call Superior Sod & Garden Supplies now!
Spring is here, which means lawns and plants are starting to pick up their growth. This is a time when many homeowners notice parts of their lawn that may not be looking up to par. Many people attempt to reseed these areas, but sod is a fast and affordable alternative that will get your lawn looking green in no time.
Identify What Caused the Damage
Before you sod a damaged area, it is critical to discover what caused the damage in the first place. Failure to fix the underlying problem could result in damage to your sod. Consider how much traffic the area received, if it is in a low spot that collects water or is particularly susceptible to frost damage, or if there are signs of insect or disease damage. A knowledgeable landscaper can help you determine what may have caused your grass to become damaged and offer solutions to prevent it from being a problem in the future.
Installing Sod on Dead Patches
The first step to putting in sod is to remove the old patches of dead grass. Mark out the area, loosen the soil around the dead patch with a spade or shovel and remove the pieces. You will want to dig deep enough to ensure you remove all the roots, and then rake the area flat. Finish the repair by laying your purchased sod pieces. Pieces should be laid tightly but not stretched or overlapped. Walk on the sod or use a lawn roller to ensure the pieces are pressed down and in contact with the soil.
Proper sod installation is critical to good growth. Improperly laid sod may not thrive or will leave bare spots. You should consider hiring a professional sod company to ensure your job is done properly and effectively.
Care for Your Sod
Water your new sod regularly so that the soil beneath the sod stays wet. You may need to water once a day the first week and slowly taper off. Also, restrict foot traffic for the first 2 weeks, and do not mow the area until it is tightly rooted.
Sod can be a quick and affordable way to patch dead areas of your lawn. However, proper installation and maintenance is critical to make sure your grass looks its very best. If your lawn is looking patchy and brown, contact Superior Sod today to see how we can help!
