What We Install & When
Each One Makes Sense
We carry four grass varieties — each one selected because it performs in Southwest Florida's climate.
St. Augustine
Most PopularThe go-to for Florida homeowners. Thick, dark green blades that create a lush, carpet-like lawn. Handles shade better than any warm-season variety and thrives in our heat and humidity. What we install on the majority of residential projects.
Zoysia
High TrafficDense, fine-bladed, and incredibly durable. Bounces back from heavy foot traffic fast and develops a tight root system that crowds out weeds naturally. Slower to establish but once it takes hold, it's one of the toughest grasses in Florida.
Bahia
Low MaintenanceThe low-effort option. Drought-tolerant, pest-resistant, and thrives in sandy Florida soil with minimal fertilization or irrigation. Not as thick as St. Augustine but gives you a clean, green yard without constant upkeep. Needs full sun.
Bermuda
Full SunAggressive, fast-growing, and built for direct sunlight. Recovers from damage faster than anything else — the standard for sports fields and heavy-use commercial sites. Needs more maintenance and zero shade tolerance, but unbeatable in open sun.
