Want a Great Lawn Without Waiting? Get Sod!

If you're looking for a quick way to get a beautiful new lawn in Illinois, then sod installation is for you. Sod is pre-grown grass that can be rolled on your lawn where it will take root. Sod is often referred to as an "instant lawn" because your lawn will look great the same day that it is installed. Sod will give you a beautiful new lawn much quicker than if you were to grow a new lawn through seeding. This means using sod for your landscape projects or for your plans to renovate or establish a new lawn will give you almost instant results! Continue reading to learn more about sod and its benefits.


What is sod?

Sod is pregrown grass that comes in large rolls with the roots still attached. These rolls of sod will be rolled out onto your lawn and then pressed down so their roots can start to establish themselves in your soil. Sod can come in a variety of grass types, but here in Illinois, you'll want to use sod that contains cool-season grass, such as Kentucky bluegrass.

Kentucky bluegrass sod will give you an outstanding turf. It's a cool-season grass that establishes its roots quickly. One of the best things about Kentucky bluegrass is its ability to repair itself and withstand extreme temperature conditions. These qualities are thanks to its vigorous root system!

Good soil preparation is crucial to enable your new sod to quickly establish its roots!


Sod establishes quicker and allows you to reap its benefits earlier than seeding.

When it comes to your choices for a new lawn, you'll have two main options: sod or seeding. While the end result of both will be a beautiful new lawn, there are several benefits that make sod an appealing choice, including the fact that sod can:

  • Prevent weed growth: When sod is installed on your lawn, it will go right on top of your soil, suffocating any weeds in the soil and preventing them from growing.
  • Can be installed virtually any season: Sod can be installed at any time of the year as long as the ground is not frozen. Seeding offers a limited planting window as the seeds need ideal conditions for optimal growth.
  • Be installed in a single day in most cases: Sod also allows you to enjoy your lawn earlier than a seeded lawn. With sod, your lawn will look great instantly and in just a few weeks, you'll be able to use it as normal! Seeding can take several weeks before you see sprouts of green appear on your property.

Make your landscape projects, new lawns, and renovated lawns look great faster with sod installation.
