Choosing Between Instant Lawn and Seeded Lawn: What You Need to Know!

When it comes to deciding between instant lawn and seeded lawn, there are a few key factors to consider that can significantly impact your lawn's appearance, maintenance, and overall satisfaction.

Cost

While the initial purchase cost of a seeded lawn is relatively low, it's important to recognize that ongoing expenses for maintenance, watering, and repairing patches can quickly add up. Seeded lawns often demand up to 66% more water compared to instant lawn varieties. On the other hand, the upfront cost of instant lawn might be slightly higher, but once established, it offers a beautiful, drought-tolerant solution that requires less ongoing investment.

Time

As the name implies, instant lawn lives up to its promise by quickly greening up your area. It typically takes just 6-8 weeks on average to establish its lush appearance. In contrast, seeded lawns can take up to a full year to fully establish, and even then, their growth can be inconsistent, leading to an uneven, patchy look—especially for blended mixes. This often necessitates ongoing re-seeding efforts throughout the lawn's lifespan.

Convenience

The success of a seeded lawn heavily relies on the time of year and the climate. Planting a seeded lawn during cooler months is essential, as hot weather can stress the grass and result in poor growth or even death. With instant lawn, you have the flexibility to install it at any time of the year, regardless of the climate. This convenience provides a significant advantage.

Suitability & Aesthetics

Our instant lawn is designed to withstand heavy use, tolerate shade, and accommodate pets. Plus, it grows consistently, providing a uniform look across your entire space. In contrast, seeded lawns often end up uneven and patchy, especially without consistent reseeding
