Sod vs. Seed for small Areas ?

[MowerMark]

A friend asked: In a 3,000 ft2 established Bluegrass lawn there are a few areas measuring 3 inches to 16 inches in diameter which need new lawn. Would you:

1. Clean each area and wait for the lawn to grown in ?

2. Patch sod, since the exact replacement is available ?

3. Seed ?


One problem with seeding is keeping each area moist several times a day.

I'm partial to seeding I think its a more permanent solution. But since the exact replacement sod is available I would dig and patch spots accordingly
