Sod provides instant gratification, but here are some advantages to hydroseeding over sod.
- You can have a sod quality lawn in a few weeks for less than 1/4 the cost of sod
- Hydroseeding grows your lawn in your native soil which prevents plant shock - this can occur when plants are transplanted - which could kill the grass.
- The problem of sod not “taking” is eliminated
- With sod, the roots are cut very short, and the sod goes through some shock during shipment and installation
