Turfgrass: Sodded or Seeded Lawn?

Posted by Landscape Plus on

When you think about your lawn, you might picture lush greenery that enhances the beauty of your yard. But did you know your turfgrass is far more than just a pretty face? Grass plants are made up of 75-80% water by weight, with up to 90% of that weight coming from their roots. This root system does more than just anchor the plant to the ground – it plays a crucial role in improving soil health and managing water. A well-established, dense lawn can absorb rainfall six times more effectively than a wheat field and four times better than a hayfield.

Sodded Lawns: A Superior Choice

What’s more impressive is how sodded lawns outshine seeded ones. Even after three years of management, a sodded lawn is 15 times more effective at controlling runoff than a newly seeded lawn. This can make a significant difference in areas prone to erosion or water pooling. And it’s not just about protecting your yard – your lawn actively contributes to the environment by releasing enough oxygen to sustain a family while also absorbing harmful gases like carbon dioxide and hydrogen fluoride. A 50×50-foot lawn, which covers 2,500 square feet, can make a tangible difference in the quality of air around your home.

The Environmental Impact of Turfgrass

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance way to make a positive environmental impact, consider the hidden value of turfgrass. In a well-maintained 10,000 square-foot lawn, there are approximately 8.5 million turf plants, collectively supporting a network of 3 billion miles of roots—enough to make 15 round trips between Earth and the Sun! With turfgrass, you’re not just growing a beautiful yard, you’re fostering an eco-friendly powerhouse that benefits both you and the planet.
