What type of sodding is often done on golf course fairways with zoysiagrass and is less expensive?

Strip sodding is the practice commonly employed on golf course fairways using zoysiagrass to establish turf in a more economical manner. This method involves laying down strips of sod, which allows for the integration of existing grass with newly installed sod while minimizing costs associated with labor and materials compared to full sodding. Since only strips are replaced or added, it reduces the amount of sod needed and the overall expense, making it a practical choice for large areas such as fairways.

Full sodding would require covering the entire area completely, increasing costs significantly. Patch sodding typically addresses smaller areas of wear and damage rather than large expanses like fairways. Grassed sodding is not a standard term used to describe this type of sodding method in horticulture and may lead to confusion regarding its actual meaning. Therefore, strip sodding stands out as the more cost-effective option when establishing healthy turf in these settings.
