Why Turf is Cheaper than Seed

It's all a matter of how you look at it...

If you look at the short term, seed is cheaper than turf. But long term, seed is more than the cost of turf. That's because you are buying your lawn in different stages of its life.

Seed has to be planted and cared for until maturity with no guarantee of success.

Turf, however, is a fully grown lawn that simply has to be laid into position and is guaranteed by AAA Turf.

The chart below shows the advantages of turf over seed.

But what the chart cannot show you is the long term commitment of your time and labor, not to mention the anxiety and aggravation you expose yourself to when you use seed instead of turf. How do you place a price on the anxiety and aggravation for cost comparison? Heavy rain or high winds can devastate your seed and leave you with washouts and bare spots - not very attractive in a new lawn.

Turf can be installed anywhere, even where seeding is impossible or too costly. Turf is often used to stop soil erosion and water pollution on slopes where rain would wash away both seed and soil. You can install a turf lawn anytime during the year when the ground can be tilled. There is no need to wait for the "right" season to put in your lawn.

In the few hours it takes to install your sod lawn, your property value increases significantly and even more in aesthetic value.

With today's ecological concerns, many more people are considering sod for its environmental benefits. Sod cools and cleans the atmosphere by reflecting the sun's heat and absorbing noises, carbon dioxide and other harmful pollutants. It releases valuable oxygen and moisture into the air we breathe. As it grows, sod silently contributes to a healthier environment.

It's important to remember turf is an instant lawn that is yours to enjoy as soon as installation is done. Because right from the very first day you own a healthy, mature, weed free lawn that grows more beautiful with time.
