Sowing seed may seem less expensive upfront, but it requires months of care, patience, and a lot of luck. Seed lawns can grow in patchy, are vulnerable to weeds, and often take a full season or more to establish.

With sod, you're getting an almost instant lawn. Buy Sod/SodStar's turf is delivered fresh, fully mature, and ready to root into your soil. You can walk on your lawn in weeks—not months—and enjoy a beautiful, professional-grade landscape with no guesswork.

"Blue tag" certification is your guarantee that the sod you receive is:

• Genetically pure and true to its turfgrass variety.
• Free of noxious weeds and disease.
• Professionally grown and inspected by state-certified agencies.

This is especially important in the Southeast where disease pressure, drought, and traffic stress can ruin a lower-grade lawn. Blue tag = peace of mind.

Here's an outline of the sod installation process:

1. Prep your soil: Remove debris, till, level, and water.
2. Lay sod tightly in rows, staggering like bricks.
3. Water immediately and consistently for the first few weeks.
4. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the sod roots in.

You can also hire Buy Sod/SodStar's professional sod rollout services, available in many areas across the Southeast, for a flawless install.

• Water: Keep sod moist for the first 2–3 weeks. Water early mornings.
• Mow: Mow after the sod is rooted (usually ~3 weeks). Don't cut more than 1/3 of the blade height.
• Fertilize: Apply a starter fertilizer upon installation, then seasonally as needed.
• Aerate & dethatch: Once or twice a year to keep roots strong and soil loose.

We also provide care tips specific to each variety on our website under each product page.
