Using already grown grass as patches for a landscape describes which practice?

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

Answer: (C)

Using already grown grass as patches for a landscape is sodding. Sodding involves laying pre-grown strips or squares of turf onto prepared soil to establish a lawn quickly. The mature turf already has a developed root system, so it greens up and stabilizes soil almost immediately, giving an instant ground cover and helping with erosion control. This is different from hydro seeding, which uses seed spread and mulch to germinate over time; sprigging, which places live grass runners or stems to grow in; and plugging, which inserts small rooted plugs that fill in gradually. Sodding is ideal when you want immediate results, handle high-traffic areas, or stabilize slopes, though it requires careful soil prep and consistent watering until the sod takes root.
