Take a look at the benefits of
using sod!
VALUE
Sod looks luxurious, yet it works like an investment. Landscaping
with sod can instantly increase the market value of property by
15% or more. For a relatively small difference in cost, homeowners
and builders can avoid the many difficulties and uncertainties
associated with lawn seeding. With turfgrass sod, a professional
grower has assumed most of the lawn establishment risks. You can
expect delivery of top quality turf, ready to meet your needs.
That is what ‘value added’ is all about.
INSTANTANEOUS RESULTS
Sod provides an instant lawn, unlike seeded lawns which may take
months to become established, and can be enjoyed immediately after
installation
EROSION CONTROL
Because sod is a fully mature, cultivated product, it can be
installed on slopes and on inferior soils where seeding is very
difficult, if possible at all. Sod provides instant soil
stabilization in erosion-prone areas. Also, in North Carolina, sod
can be installed in nearly every month of the year, not just
during the summer months.
SPECIFIC PLACEMENT
Unlike the random growth achieved with the best of seeding
techniques, sod is placed precisely where the finished product is
desired.
Environmental Benefits of a Well Maintained Lawn:
POLLUTION CONTROL
- Turfgrass traps and removes dust and dirt
from the air.
- 2,500 square feet of lawn absorb carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere, and release enough oxygen for a
family of four to breathe.
- COOLING EFFECT
- On a hot summer day, lawns will be 30 degrees
cooler than asphalt and 14 degrees cooler than bare soil.
- The front lawns of eight houses have the
cooling effect of about 70 tons of air conditioning. The average
home has an air conditioner with just a three or four ton
capacity.
WATER FILTER
- Turfgrass acts as a natural filter by
purifying the water passing through its root zone.
