We provide this sod guide to our customers to begin to get an idea of the sods they would be interested in. All sods have their own strengths and weakness. Sod characteristics vary from high to low maintenance, optimal sun time, durability against high traffic and so much more. Aesthetic-wise, there are shades of green that range from deep greens like the Bermuda Tifway-419, to a blueish green like the St. Augustine Citrablue. Our job is to find the right sod at the meeting point of your lawn care needs and wants.

SUN & SHADE
ST. AUGUSTINE
St. Augustine is a dark green grass with broad, flat blades. The grass occurs on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, including much of the southeastern United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. St. Augustine grass occurs in most Caribbean and Mediterranean areas. It grows best in tropical climates. It is often seen in lagoons and marshes, on shorelines, and wherever there is a good amount of moisture. (wiki)

PALMETTO SIVILLE
BERMUDA
It is fast-growing and tough, making it popular and useful for sports fields, as when damaged it will recover quickly. It is a highly desirable turf grass in warm temperate climates, particularly for those regions where its heat and drought tolerance enable it to survive where few other grasses do. This combination makes it a frequent choice for golf courses in the southern and southeastern U.S. It has a relatively coarse-bladed form with numerous cultivars selected for different turf requirements.

BAHIA
Bahia grass is native to Mexico and South America, but has been naturalized elsewhere in North America and in other regions. It prefers sandy soils and is tolerant of shade. It is also fairly hardy, tolerating saline conditions and drought. It is valued as an erosion-controlling soil stabilizer, as well as for its productivity, ease of establishment, and persistence. It makes a relatively low-maintenance turf as well, with its toleration for minimal maintenance, drought tolerance, and with less disease and insect damage than some of the other warm-season grasses.

ZOYSIA
Some types of zoysia are available commercially as sod in some areas. In typical savanna climates with warm wet and dry seasons, such as southern Florida, zoysia grasses grow during the warm-wet summer and are dormant in the drier, cooler winter months. They are popular because of their fine texture, soft feel, and low growth habit. They can form dense mats and even mounds that grow over low features. In contrast to St. Augustine grass, they generally require less fertilization and are less vulnerable to insect and fungus damage, depending on environmental conditions. It is a native of Japan and Korea. It makes cushion like surface/turf. Its water requirement is high. It grows slowly and frequent mowing is not required. (wiki)
