Sod is the cultivation of various pure natural grass types for the purpose of commercial whole sale and retail harvesting and distribution. It is often sold by square feet roles and often considered mature lawn grass. Sod is by far a better choice when planing a new lawn compared to seeding for three major reasons:

• Sod installation creates an instant mature, lush green grass lawn (however the new lawn requires time and care to grow and get established)
  
• Sod installation helps to eliminate soil lead chemical exposure, especially if one has children and or elderly at home
  
• Sod can help prevent the regrowth of weeds (some weeds can be persistent and may require manual intervention initially); can stop soil erosion;  and can restore and improve yard surroundings beauty and quality of life immediately.
  

S​od (natural real grass) can be installed from spring (March/April) to fall (November). The only difference is in the application frequency of water; in the spring and fall, water application will be less frequent than in the summer.
