Which Is Better: Seed or Sod?
Wilson’s Lawn Care & Landscaping can help you choose between seeding and sod installation when you need a front and back lawn installed. While each project can vary, here are some general guidelines when deciding between the two.
Sod
Turf grass, also known as sod, is a fully matured and densely-rooted grass that has been cultivated in nutrient-rich soil with regular irrigation and fertilization. It’s free from weeds and does not require additional seeding after installation.
This option is best for property owners who want an instant lawn with less maintenance. It can also be an excellent choice when you need to quickly cover smaller areas of your lawn. While sod is the more expensive option, it provides instant, dramatic results.
Seeding
Seeding involves spreading grass seed over a new or existing lawn to encourage grass growth. Seeding is less expensive than sod but requires more time and maintenance.
Property owners choose seeding when they want a wider variety of grasses to choose from or a budget-friendly option for their new or existing lawn. Seeding is also a smart choice when you have a large yard or several acres that require grass growth.

Lawn Renovation: Over-Seeding and Lawn Repair
Many older lawns were established with common turf grasses not suited for heat, drought, or poor soil conditions. These lawns are more likely to have issues with disease, pests, nutrients, and moisture retention. New construction lawns are often stripped of topsoil and the compacted subsoil creates poor growing conditions.
When you’re having trouble with your lawn, trust Wilson’s Lawn Care & Landscaping to help. We provide lawn renovation and restoration services through over-seeding or sodding to upgrade your lawn and create a beautiful landscape.
By overseeding newer turf grass varieties into an older lawn, you can help it better withstand drought, disease, pests, and foot traffic for a gorgeous and sustainable lawn you can be proud of. Sod is also an option to instantly restore lawns for homeowners that want an instant, dramatic transformation.
How Do We Renovate Lawns?
Slice-Seeding With a Mechanical Slit-Seeder
This is the best method for overseeding established turf. Our machines vertically cut “slits” or miniature furrows through the thatch layer into the soil. The seed is dropped into the furrows, ensuring seed/soil contact where the seedlings can germinate. The machines will not destroy the existing turf grass plants.
Topdressing and Overseeding
Topdressing your lawn with compost-enriched topsoil also ensures 100% seed/soil contact and does not destroy existing healthy turf grass plants. We recommend topdressing and overseeding when the soil grade needs to be improved. Topdressing allows us to level your lawn, fill in low spots, and improve drainage issues throughout the yard. Additionally, we install only disease, drought, and insect-resistant turf grass seed.
Sod Repair
Sod repair is our “extreme lawn makeover” method. We start with a treatment to remove all undesirable grasses and weeds from your lawn. Next, we strip and remove all of the thatch and regrade, making your lawn level again. Your beautiful new sod of choice is then installed. In just a few days, we’ll have transformed your old tired lawn into a brand-new dark green blanket of turf.
Our Process
Our process is customized to your specific lawn and whether you’re getting seeding or sod installation. We may use the following techniques and methods to ensure lawn health during your new lawn installation or restoration process.
- Grading (finished grade)
- Rockhounding (removing rocks and debris)
- Rototilling
- Seed planting using a planter machine
- Soil conditioning
- Starter fertilizer application
- Straw application
