When establishing a new lawn, the choice between seed and turf will shape the project’s cost, timeline, and long-term success. Each method has advantages depending on the site.

Sowing seed is more affordable and offers a wide variety of grass types. It requires proper soil preparation, consistent watering, and patience, germination and growth can take weeks.

Turf provides an instant lawn, which is ideal for quick results or erosion-prone areas. It costs more but offers uniform coverage and is usable within a few weeks.

Both methods need well-prepared soil, levelled and cleared of debris. Access to water is critical, especially during the early establishment phase.

If you’re not in a hurry and want to save on costs, seed is a good option. For fast, reliable results, turf can be worth the investment—especially in small or visible areas.
