WHAT KIND OF GRASS IS GOOD FOR THIS AREA?

• We grow Floratam St. Augustine and Bermuda grass. Both varieties are great for South Texas.
  • Floratam is a type of St. Augustine that is drought tolerant, shade tolerant, disease resistant, and cinch bug resistant. Floratam needs about 6-7 hours of sunlight a day. Sunlight can be filtered through trees. Just make sure to keep your trees trimmed and that it meets the 6-7 hour requirement.
  • Turfco Bermuda is a type of Bermuda known for it superior traffic tolerance, high drought tolerance, super soft texture, and beautiful green-blue color. Turfco Bermuda does not like shade, so full sun is best. Our Bermuda can be found in a wide variety of commercial projects to many residential homes.

• HOW SHOULD I PREPARE THE GROUND TO LAY NEW SOD?

  • It is important to start with a smooth and level surface. It may be necessary to have dirt hauled in to help level low areas out.
