What does RESOD mean in Scrabble?
verb
To cover ground with new sod or turf a second time, typically to repair a lawn that has died or worn away.
Groundskeepers reach for this verb when patchy or dead grass cannot simply be revived with water and fertiliser, so fresh strips of turf are laid down over bare soil instead of waiting for seed to grow in. Sports fields, golf courses and home lawns are the settings where the word turns up most often, since heavy foot traffic and drought both leave grass thin enough to need replacing rather than repairing. The process is usually quicker than reseeding, since resod gives an already-established patch of grass rather than seeds that still need weeks to sprout.
How RESOD is used
Common in lawn care, landscaping and groundskeeping contexts.
