RTF sod requires less overseeding, has fewer weed problems and prevents "wide-leafed ugly clumps" of tall fescue plants
Young plants first build the root and shoot system; then concentrate on producing rhizomes. With RTF sod, the rhizomes are already developed
RTF sod, with the aid of rhizomes anchors itself faster, water requirements are reduced and turf can be used sooner
