Bermuda Grass

As the name implies, Bermuda grass is made to be grown in southern climates and it’s a uniquely perfect choice for Florida lawns. This gorgeous grass has a deep green-grey color and deep roots which makes it incredibly resistant to problems we often deal with in Florida — weeds, high-traffic, drought, etc. It grows rapidly and doesn’t take much maintenance, which, unfortunately, means it can be relatively invasive. But, with regular maintenance and a solid watering routine, you should keep your Bermuda Grass looking good all year round.

St. Augustine Grass

St. Augustine grass is a true favorite amongst Northwest Floridians. It’s grows quickly, it’s very drought tolerant, and it isn’t affected by high salt levels in its environment. It grows fast, so you’ll need to keep up with maintenance. There are several varietals of St. Augustine Grass that could be a good choice for you, including options like:

• Floratam St. Augustine Grass—cost-effective, blue-green, and turf like.
• Seville St. Augustine Grass—fine leaved, dark-green, and perfect for sun or shade.
• Palmetto St. Augustine Grass— hardy, emerald-green, and very appealing.
• Bitter Blue St. Augustine Grass—cinch-bug resistent, blue-green, and cold-tolerant.

Zoysia Grass

Zoysia has a deep, dark-green richness that’s not just beautiful, but also downright turf-like. Zoysia Grass is a great choice for Florida lawns that see lots of traffic, is near coastal areas, and gets lots of sun. Zoysia Grass is incredibly drought tolerant, disease-proof, and doesn’t mind partial-shade.

It’s one of the lowest maintenance grasses out there, which makes it perfect for homeowners who don’t have all the time in the world to worry about their lawn’s maintenance. It’s dense, which means weeds usually aren’t a problem.

This type of grass will absolutely go dormant if a random Florida frost hits, but once you get your soil’s temp back up the low-to-mid 70s, growth resumes as usual.

Bahia Grass

Bahia is one of the toughest and most durable grasses available.

Though Bermudagrass has greater drought tolerance in sand, few other warm-season grasses match Bahia on this strength. Bahiagrass prefers full sun, but it tolerates limited shade better than Bermuda. It also has better tolerance for poorly drained soils.

Pensacola Bahiagrass is the most common type of grass in Florida because it’s naturally resistant to stress, cooler temps, sun, drought, and more. It’s beautiful, it’s easy to care for, it requires very little irrigation, and it thrives in the hot, dry climate Florida has to offer. But it’s a little needy – it needs mowing weekly and you certainly need to keep an eye out for weeds that tend to pop up frequently in this type of grass.
