You will want to make sure that whatever method you go with, you do so in a very even way and give your new lawn the proper amount of TLC.

Here is what you need to know about creating the perfect lawn.
Which is Better, Seeds or Sod?
Growing the perfect lawn is going to depend specifically in the location that you are living in. This is going to be because the north and the south are going to have very different climates, meaning that different types of grass will do better or worse.
When it comes to which type of grass is going to be better, sod or seed, sod is going to be much better and easier to help you get your perfect dream lawn because you can use sod for landscaping. Here are the main reasons that sod is going to be better than a seed lawn.
While it is true that sod is going to be grown similar to that of a large farm crop, it is already grown and will therefore require a large amount of sunlight to get established. So if your property has a lot of trees and big bushes, sod may not be for you. However, when you use sod, you don’t have to worry about whether or not you have gotten enough grass seeds into a certain area and if it has been spread out evenly.
One of the few benefits of suing grass seeds, is going to be that there will be a much larger variety of the type of grass you will be able to have. While it is going to depend upon the area that you live in and the associated climate, if you are looking for a specific type of grass to use for your lawn, grass seeds will give you a larger amount to choose from than sod will.
