TURFGRASS SOD BENEFITS

A home, business or sports field can be bare ground in the morning, and covered in mature turf within hours, with turfgrass sod. The finished look achieved with turfgrass sod adds prestige while it helps protect the environment from erosion, children from cuts and scrapes, and carpets from mud.

 

Instant Beauty and Value

 

Within just a few hours, turfgrass sod transforms a yard from bare soil to a living carpet of grass, with mature density and a solid root system, while lawns started with seed, sprigs or plugs take from 2 to 3 years of constant effort and are frequently frustrating.

And, turfgrass sod performs like an investment. Landscaping with turfgrass sod instantly increases the market value of the property from 5% to 10%.

 

A Healthy Environment

 

Did you know that 2,500 square feet of lawn releases enough oxygen for a family of four to breath?

 

According to the U.S. Congress: “Turfgrass sod in urban areas and communities can aid in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, mitigating the heat island effect, reducing energy consumption and contributing to efforts to reduce global warming trends.”

Turfgrass sod creates a soft, clean and safe playing surface for babies and ballgames alike. It reduces heat, glare, noise and odors. But most importantly, it cleans the air and helps recharge our groundwater supplies. Turfgrass sod is one of nature’s finest, least expensive filters, working to improve the environment.

 

Solve Site Problems

 

Because sod is fully mature the day it’s delivered, it can immediately control erosion even on steeply sloped areas, as it sinks down roots very rapidly. It can also be successfully installed over a very long season. Turfgrass sod works when and where seed, sprigs or plugs would fail.
