Seed Or Sod? Which is better for your yard. Pro-Tips
What happens here
When combining existing grass with new sod or seed, a noticeable color difference (a 'line of demarcation') can appear, as sod typically has a dark, vibrant green hue. To eliminate this, overseed both the new and existing areas with the same grass seed. This allows the seeds to blend and 'cross over' (cross-germinate or cross-pollinate), gradually balancing the colors for a more uniform appearance across your entire lawn.
Goal: Achieve a uniform color across new and existing lawn areas.
