If you've ever wished that you could achieve an instantly green lawn without all the elbow grease, you're in luck – sod installation is the solution you've been looking for! Sod is pre-grown grass that comes in rolls with roots and a thin layer of soil intact. It's considered an instant lawn because sod installations involve unfurling these rolls onto bare soil in your lawn so that all the fully-grown grass needs to do is take root. For our area in Pennsylvania, it's best to opt for sod grown from cool-season seeds as they'll be best adapted to our climate. Those who will benefit most from sod installations are property owners who want to hop right into maintaining an already healthy lawn, those who need a beautiful lawn quickly, and more!

Sod is pre-grown grass cut into rolls for easy transport to a new location.

Sometimes referred to as "turf," sod is the term for grass that is pre-grown and cut into rolls for transport. Sod is grown on farms and then cut with a machine that slices the grass under the roots, leaving a small layer of soil attached. This creates a roll of grass with the soil serving as a strong foundation that helps it stay together. Once they're harvested, the sod rolls are ready to be taken to their new home, whether that's a backyard, the front of a business, or somewhere else!

Sod is considered an instant lawn because it takes only two to three weeks to establish itself.

Sod is often hailed as an "instant lawn," but for good reason! Once it's harvested, sod only needs to be unfurled onto bare soil to start to establish itself. The roots that are still attached will work through the attached soil to make contact with the soil below, grounding the fully-grown grass over time, as if it grew there from seed. Generally speaking, sod will establish in its new destination within two to three weeks given the correct care. Once the grass has taken root in the soil at its destination, it will begin to grow just as a normally established lawn would!

Sod installations are perfect for those who need or want a beautiful lawn in a short amount of time.

Because sod is already pre-grown and ready to go, anyone who needs a beautiful lawn in a time crunch will find sod to be the best option. People that could benefit from the convenience of sod installation are:

• Homeowners who want to hop right into maintaining a healthy lawn rather than having to wade through high-maintenance lawn establishment like seeding
• Business owners who want to quickly spruce up the area around their building
• Property owners that have an outdoor event coming soon
• Property owners who need to patch up small areas of their lawn that have gone bare or are struggling
• Property owners who simply don't want to wait
• and more!
