What sod means
Sod is strips of established grass with a thin layer of soil, cut at a farm and laid like carpet for an instant lawn.
Also called turf rolls.
Where it matters on a lawn care job
Sod is priced by the square foot or pallet, plus soil prep and delivery. It must be laid fast and watered right away, so schedule the delivery for the day you install.
