Types of Sod

Floratam - St. Augustine Floratam grass was released by the Florida and Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations in 1972 as a SAD virus and chinch bug resistant turf selection. It is also brown patch tolerant also.  Floratam is a vigorous, coarse textured St. Augustine grass variety. It is considered the most drought-tolerant of all St. Augustine grasses.  It is best suited in full sun areas.  Its thick growing nature keeps weeds in check with proper maintenance.  Floratam flourishes in our high temperature summers making it the ideal choice for most Florida homes.

Shade - Similar to St. Augustine Floratam but holds up better under shade conditions.  It also thrives in the sun.  Has a nice emerald color and is very durable.  Recovers quickly from general wear and tear.  A good choice if you need to sod a yard which has many trees, a park, or any area that will receive more shade than sunlight.

Bahia - Bahia grass is a warm season southern grass which is resistant to drought, disease and most insect attacks. Bahia grass can survive in a variety of soils and requires some maintenance to keep looking good. Without fertilizer, Bahia grass will thin out over time. Bahia grass also has a low tolerance to many weed control herbicides.  It does well in lawns and along highways and its best used in sunny areas in warm humid regions. It is a hardy grass but does not do well in shade.  Proper irrigation is very important to Bahia’s continued success.

Gorgeous deep green color. Shade tolerant. Fairly salt tolerant. Significantly fewer seed heads than other zoysia grasses. Drought tolerant. High traffic tolerance. Tolerant of most herbicides.
