What Is Sod Installation?

Sod installation, also known as sodding, involves laying pre-grown, mature grass over prepared soil to create an instantly green, fully established lawn. It eliminates the long waiting period of seeding and gives you immediate curb appeal, erosion control, and usable outdoor space.
