If a lawn is needed immediately, which method should be used?

• A. Hydro Seeding
• B. Sprigging
• C. Sodding
• D. Plugging

Answer: (C)

For an immediately usable lawn, laying sod is the best choice. Sod is pre-grown turf that's installed on prepared soil, and once it’s anchored and watered, you have a green, usable surface right away. It doesn’t rely on seed germination or in-place growth to establish, so you get instant density and coverage. The other methods depend on growth after installation: hydroseeding spreads seed in a slurry that must germinate and establish, taking weeks; sprigging uses stolons or rhizomes that must root and spread to fill in; plugging places small turf plugs that also need time to fill in and mature. So when speed to a ready-to-use lawn is the priority, sod wins.
