Sod is grass that has already been planted. It includes the soil beneath it that holds the roots together.
Sod is grown on specialist farms where it is harvested in standard sizes. Sod can be used for golf courses, sports fields, and lawns. Landscapers and homeowners rely on sod to establish a lawn quickly. Besides the aesthetics, other benefits include reducing soil erosion and improving air quality.
There are a variety of grasses that work well in Florida's climate.
