Sod can be used to repair a small area of lawn or be used to install an entire yard. Seed may be blown about by the wind, eaten by birds and takes some weeks to form a visually appealing lawn and further time before it is robust enough for use but newly laid sod establishes a lawn immediately and is usually fully functional within 30 days of installation, its root system is comparable to that of a seeding lawn two or three years older.
