Seed Or Sod? Which is better for your yard. Pro-Tips

What happens here

If you have an area that requires sod but is shaded, you can mitigate the issue by overseeding the newly laid sod with a shade-tolerant grass seed mixture, such as 'Turf Champ Shade Grass Seed'. This allows the shade-adapted grass to establish and thrive as the original sod, which prefers sun, gradually declines, maintaining a green lawn without bare spots.

Goal: Ensure longevity of sod in shaded areas by introducing shade-tolerant grass.
