To provide a vegetation element inexpensive in production thereof and uniform in sodding whether grass is pre-cultured or directly sodded on the required place, regardless of a known vegetation element type used therein, i.e., whether or not the vegetation element comprises plural layers.

The vegetation element for sodding artificial surfaces (such as roofs) or natural soil surfaces comprises a vegetation carrier consisting of a mineral and/or organic material for vegetation and has an optional bottom carrier layer. The vegetation carrier is provided with a seed mat made of a flexible, biodegradable material, and the seed mat contains seeds distributed uniformly at locations separate from each other, where the seeds are secured and held in place by the seed mat. The seed mat may be arranged on the surface of the vegetation carrier as well as on the bottom side of the vegetation carrier or in between.
