greenmachine is an unknown quantity at this point
I am a sod grower who also installs and will seed when time is right. I due more seeding on our fields than anyone of you probebly will ever do and know the challenges of getting good grass even on good ground. Even though it is true seed can do good part of the year but it is not consistant no matter who you are. We only use gold tag seed and select varieties to do the best in are area. I know several sod farms raise sod on muck or peat soils, even though it looks good coming in it never roots in. We raise sod on a sandy clay loam which is similar to the ground it will be laid on. This is the most important part to consider when buying sod. No matter which way you start a lawn it will not do well if the owners do not take care of it.
