Instant turf, also known as roll-on turf or sod, is a pre-grown grass that is cultivated in fields and then harvested as a continuous sheet with the roots and soil intact. It is a popular alternative to seeding, as it provides an instant lawn with a mature, even appearance.

Instant turf is commonly used for residential lawns, sports fields, golf courses, and other landscaping projects. It is available in different varieties, including warm-season grasses like Bermuda grass and Zoysia grass, and cool-season grasses like fescue and Kentucky bluegrass. The selection of the turf variety depends on the climate and soil conditions of the area where it will be installed.

The installation of instant turf typically involves preparing the soil, rolling out the turf, and then watering it thoroughly. It requires regular watering and maintenance to establish a healthy root system and ensure its longevity. Instant turf can be a more expensive option compared to seeding, but it provides an immediate solution with a higher success rate, especially in areas with harsh weather or high traffic.
