Sod is generally used for lawns, golf courses, and sports stadiums around the world. In residential construction, it is sold to landscapers, home builders or home owners who use it to establish a lawn quickly and avoid soil erosion. Sod can be used to repair a small area of lawn, golf course, or athletic field that has died and is used as a quicker alternative to re-growing a lawn from seed. Sod is also effective in increasing cooling, improving air and water quality, and assisting in flood prevention by draining water.

Sod is grown on specialist farms. For 2009, the United States Department of Agriculture reported 1,412 farms had 368,188 acres (149,000.4 ha) of sod in production. It is usually grown locally (within 100 miles of the target market) to minimize both the cost of transport and also the risk of damage to the product. The farms that produce this grass may have many varieties of grass grown in one location to best suit the consumer’s use and preference of appearance.It is usually harvested 10 to 18 months after planting, depending on the growing climate. On the farm, it undergoes fertilization, frequent mowing, watering, and subsequent vacuuming to remove the clippings. It is harvested using specialized equipment, precision cut to standardized sizes. Sod is typically harvested in small square or rectangular slabs, or large 4-foot-wide (1.2 m) rolls. The Mississippi State University has developed a hydroponic method of cultivating sod. For the very few sod farms that export turf internationally, this soilless sod may travel both lighter and better than traditional sod. Additionally, since the sod is not grown in soil, it does not need to be washed clean of soil down to the bare roots (or sprigs), so time to export is shortened. In many applications, such as erosion control and athletic fields, immediacy is a key factor. Seed may be blown about by the wind, eaten by birds, or fail because of drought. It takes some weeks to form a visually appealing lawn and further time before it is robust enough for use. Sod largely avoids these problems, and with proper care, newly laid sod is usually fully functional within 30 days of installation and its root system is comparable to that of a seeding lawn two to three years older. Sod also reduces erosion by stabilizing the soil. Many prized cultivars (such as Bella Bluegrass, a brand-named dwarf variant of Kentucky Bluegrass) can only be reproduced vegetatively rather than sexually (via seed). For these, sod cultivation is the only means of producing additional plants. To grow these varieties for sale, turf farms use a technique called sprigging, where recently harvested sod mats are cut into slender rows and replanted in the field.Following the passage of the Homestead Act by Congress in 1862, settlers in the Great Plains used sod bricks to build entire sod houses.This was effective because the prairie sod of the Great Plains was so dense and difficult to cut it earned the nickname “Nebraska marble”. Blacksmith John Deere made his fortune when he became the first to make a plow that could reliably cut the prairie sod.

City of Dallas : Sod
Time Limitations: Sod shall be transplanted/installed within a period of 24 hours following harvesting,
unless a suitable preservation method is approved prior to delivery. Sod not transplanted within this
period shall be inspected and approved by the inspecting officer or his representative prior to its
installation.
Material Specifications: Thickness of Cut: Sod shall be machine cut at uniform soil thickness of 0.60
inch (15 mm), plus or minus 0.25 inch (6 mm), at the time of cutting. Measurement for thickness shall
exclude top growth and thatch.
Moisture Content: Turfgrass sod shall not be harvested or transplanted when its moisture content
(excessively dry or wet) may adversely affect its survival.
Mowing Height: Before harvesting, the turfgrass shall be mowed uniformly at a height of 1 to 2.5
inches (25 to 60 mm).
Thatch: Turfgrass sod shall be relatively free of thatch, up to 0.5 inch (15 mm) allowable
(uncompressed).
Diseases, Nematodes and Insects: Turfgrass sod shall be reasonably free of diseases, nematodes and
soil-borne insects. Specific nursery and/or plant materials laws may require that all sod entering inter-
state commerce be inspected and approved for sale. The inspections and approval must be made
by the appropriate government representative of the agriculture department or office of
entomologist.
Sod Installation:
Moistening the Soil: During periods of higher than optimal temperature for some species and after all
unevenness in the soil surface has been corrected, the soil shall be lightly moistened immediately
prior to installation of the turfgrass sod.
Starter Strip: The first row of sod shall be laid in a straight line, with subsequent rows placed parallel to
and tightly against each other. Lateral joints shall be staggered to promote more uniform growth
and strength. Care shall be exercised to insure that the pieces are not stretched or overlapped and
that all joints are butted tightly to prevent voids that would cause air drying of the roots.
Sloping Surfaces: On 3:1 greater slopes, traditional size (1 sq yd/1sq m) turf grass sod shall be laid
across the angle of the slope (perpendicular), with staggered joints and secured by tampering,
pegging, stapling or other approved methods of temporarily securing each piece. Large-roll
turfgrass sod shall be laid in the direction of the slope, with temporary securing being at the discretion
of the installation contractor.
Swales and Intermittent Waterways: The installation of sod within drain ways or intermittent waterways
shall be determined after considering maximum channel velocities for storms of a designated intensity. Tradition size sod shall be laid perpendicular to the direction of flow and pegged to resist
washout during the establishment period, while large-roll pieces shall be laid in the direction of the
flow.
Watering and Rolling: The installation contractor shall water the turfgrass sod immediately after
transplanting to prevent excessive drying during progress of the work. As sodding is completed in any
one section, the entire area shall be lightly rolled. It shall then be thoroughly watered to a depth
sufficient that the underside of the new sod pad and soil immediately below the pad are thoroughly
wet.
The single-most important factor in the successful rooting of newly installed turfgrass sod is adequate,
regular watering. Watering should begin immediately after installation. The amount of water
required will vary depending upon season, weather, temperature, wind, slope, and turfgrass variety.
The general contractor shall designate the party responsible to ensure adequate water supply and
application.
Mowing: The first mowing shall not be attempted until the turfgrass sod is firmly rooted and securely in
place. Not more than 30 percent of the grass leaf shall be removed by the initial or subsequent
mowing. Care shall be taken to assure cutting blades are maintained in a sharp condition.

St. Augustine grass

St. Augustine grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) (also known as Charleston grass in South Carolina and Buffalo Turf in Australia) is warm-season, perennial grass that is a widely used. A native grass of tropical origin that extends from marshes (salt and freshwater), lagoon fringes, and sandy beach ridges.

St. Augustine lawns are a popular coarse, wide–bladed coarse lawn planted throughout many areas of the Southeastern United States This grass is found in Mexico, Australia, and in tropical parts of Africa. It is a warm-season grass that does not handle cold weather very well. The majority of this grass is planted in vegetative forms (such as plugs and sod), as seeds are not usually available due to production difficulties.

Bermuda grass

Bermuda grass is quite commonly used for golf courses and sports fields across the southern portions of the United States. It tolerates a range of climates in the U.S., from hot and humid lagoons, inlets, and bays of the Gulf Coast, to the arid expanses of terrain like plains and deserts in the Southwest and parts of the Lower Midwest. Established bermuda grass is a network of shoots, rhizomes, stolons, and crown tissue together that usually form a dense plant canopy. This dense plant canopy can be used to propagate clonal varieties by sod, sprigs, or plugs. The aggressive and resilient nature of Bermuda grass makes it not only an excellent turfgrass but also a challenging and invasive weed in land cultivated for other purposes. Its one noted weakness is its relatively low tolerance of shade. Given the economic importance of Bermuda grass (as a sod product, agricultural forage, and, at times, as an invasive weed), it has been the subject of numerous studies.

Zoysia Grass

Zoysia is a popular choice for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance and durable lawn. Zoysia grass has a fine texture, drought-tolerance, shade-tolerance and is an excellent option for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance and durable lawn.  It is soft to walk on, but durable and grows slowly, requiring less mowing, watering, and fertilizing than other types of grass.

Tall Fescue Grass

Tall fescue (Festuca spp.) is a cool-weather group of grasses originating in Europe, commonly used as sod. It is moderately tolerant to both drought and cold, and as such is especially popular in inland temperate environments referred to in the turf and landscaping industries as the “transition zone”, where summers are too hot for most cool-weather grasses, yet winters are too cold for most warm-weather grasses. Fescue is well-adapted to clay soils, moderately shade-tolerant, and somewhat resistant to disease, yet vulnerable to the diseases brown patch and Fusarium patch. It grows most actively (and thus provides the most desirable appearance) in spring and fall, and requires frequent watering during summer. Due to its bunch-type growth habit (unique among common sod grasses), it will not spread undesirably or invade adjacent areas once sodded, yet neither will it fill in voids, and periodic maintenance (such as overseeding with Fescue seed) may be required to sustain a homogeneous surface. It has poor wear tolerance compared to Bermuda grass, making it less popular for applications such as athletic fields.
