I thought about installing a new lawn, using grass rolls, and thought about all the terms used for ground cover. You can almost use the terms turf, turf and lawn interchangeably, and most people will know what you mean. But, since I like to be faithful in the choice of words, I explored the difference between these conditions. For this, I decided to use a dictionary and in each case went with the first version of the dictionary. Here are the results. Turf: The surface layer of the earth, containing dense growth of grass, and frosted roots. Soda: A stretch of grassy surface soil, held together by dull roots. Lawn: A patch of grass, usually grooming or mowing, like one around a residence or in a park or estate.
Of the three definitions, the lawn stands out as the most different from the other two. A lawn is more a finished product, like what will be around a house or a park. To illustrate, a lawn will look like a fully tiled floor in a house, rather than individual tiles before installation.
Sod and Turf are a bit closer to the definition, but not exactly the same. Both have a surface layer of soil or soil, both have grass and frosted roots. The difference in the definitions I found is that Sod is “a section that is held together” by dull roots. Grass rolls come in sections and should stick together with dull roots. Even if they use the net to hold the rolls together, they still need matte roots.
Turf is not held together by dull roots and does not need sections. This is the surface layer. When people claim some area, it’s bigger than a piece of turf.
I came to the conclusion that the most correct term for rolls of grass is Sod. Having a new lawn plant may involve the use of turf rolls, but it may also, by definition, include a patch of grass that will eventually grow on the lawn.
As soon as the turf farm cuts out patches of grass and a dull root, these sections become Sod. Then they are rolled up and sent to the specified location. once on the site Sod is laid on the ground one matte section at a time. To return to the illustration, the sod is laid out like tiles on the floor. Once the sections are laid out and joined together, it becomes a lawn or lawn.
Well, I am ready to install a new lawn. For this, I will order my turf rolls from a reputable turf farm.
