Unique & versatile methods of establishment
Zenith is available as sod & seed
Sodding and seeding result in beautiful lawns that, in time, will look the same. The differences, in brief:
- Sod costs more, but offers instant impact
- Sod cost more, but is easier to take care of during the establishment phase
- Seed costs less, but the trade off is in your time and effort
- Seed is the solution in areas where Zenith sod is not available

Both methods can be even be combined. Examples of combinations are to sod your front lawn and seed your back yard or sod your slopes (to prevent seed loss due to runoff) and seed the flat areas. Seed can also be used to overseed patchy, thin sodded areas.
