Title: Installing and Maintaining a Sod Lawn
Summary: Turfgrass is one of nature’s sponges, trapping chemical and air pollutants and converting noxious gasses into
clean oxygen. Sodding your lawn allows you to enjoy the beauty of a living turfgrass carpet instantly without the
usual time-consuming hassles of seeding. Sod can be installed anytime the ground isn’t frozen. It offers more
dependable results on hillsides and steep slopes where erosion is a problem and on high-traffic areas.
Compared to spring seedings, sod gives little opportunity for weed species, especially crabgrass, to get
established. For best results, sod needs to be installed and maintained properly.
