re: Grass plugs vs. seed vs. sod

Depends on how far apart you do the plugs but in general centipede will fill in decently fast. Certainly faster than something like zoysia, but not as fast as Bermuda.

Now, I will say that while it will fill in within a year, I have seen several yards where you can tell where it was plugged two years after the fact. The grass has grown together for total coverage, but you can see the plug spots. That is usually on something like zoysia though so hopefully it wouldn’t be as bad with centipede.
