When you are looking to plant a new lawn with sod, it is important to know how far apart the plugs should be. This will ensure that your lawn looks full and even once it has been completely planted. Generally, most people space their sod plugs about 12 inches apart from each other. This allows the roots of each plug to grow and spread out, filling in any gaps between the plugs. If you space your plugs too closely together, they may crowd each other out and not have enough room to grow properly. On the other hand, if you space them too far apart, there may be visible gaps in your lawn once everything has grown in. Play around with different spacing until you find what works best for you and your lawn!
