Seed vs Sod

[Sizzle]

We are at that point. Seed and it's lower cost versus sod and it's quicker turn time. Anybody have any strong feelings for either? And if so, can anybody provide a good recommendation for a sod farm or hydroseeder in the 801? Much thanks.

Here's my opinion.

Small lawn: Seed. Nuy double what the package says you'll need. Keep it wet and use straw or an appropriate mulch

Medium size lawn: Sod. Better for medium size lawns, imo, not too huge that you're breaking your back putting it in (can be done in a day) and not too expensive.

Large Lawn: Hydroseed. it's generally cheaper than sod, and from what I hear and read, it's just as easy to propogate.

We'll be replacing our "lawn" next year and we'll be using seed mainly because our yard is minute. Postage stamp is a generous description.

Frakkin' hack!

On another note - how is it getting sod or seed up and growing in Utah in September? Is that a bad time or good time...anyone have any thoughts on that?

Isn't "seen" the gramatically-correct term?

As I recall, it is a good time.
