So, when you have to make the choice between a seeded and sodded lawn, you really need to ask yourself if you're willing to put in the work and time to make a seeded lawn look good. It has now been a year and my seeded lawn is just beginning to look presentable, but still nowhere near as good as the sodded lawns nearby, even with all the extra work I have put into it. If you're looking for the quick and dirty option, definitely consider sod.
