Florida’s heat, humidity, seasonal rain, intense sunshine and coastal conditions make choosing the right grass especially important. Florida Sod Suppliers offers several sod varieties suited to South Florida homes, commercial properties, HOAs, contractors and landscape projects.
Our most frequently requested grasses are Floratam St. Augustine, Palmetto St. Augustine and Argentine Bahia. We can also help customers order specialty grasses including Emerald Zoysia and Bermuda sod with advance notice.
Sod is professionally grown on specialized farms and harvested as established turf for installation on residential lawns, commercial properties, parks, athletic areas and other landscapes.
Unlike starting a lawn from seed, sod provides immediate ground coverage and allows homeowners and landscape professionals to establish a finished lawn much faster.
Sod immediately creates a green, established appearance instead of waiting for seed to germinate and fill in.
Established turf helps stabilize exposed soil and reduce erosion from rainfall and runoff.
Fresh sod can dramatically improve the appearance of a residential or commercial property.
Warm-season grasses are available that are well suited to Florida’s climate and growing conditions.
Floratam and Palmetto are two popular St. Augustine grasses used throughout South Florida. Each offers a dense tropical lawn appearance, but they are not identical.
Floratam is one of the most recognizable St. Augustine grasses used throughout Florida. It produces broad blades and a dense, lush appearance that many homeowners associate with a traditional South Florida lawn.
Palmetto is another popular St. Augustine variety used for Florida lawns. It is known for its attractive texture and is often considered when a property includes areas that receive varying amounts of sun.
Drive through South Florida neighborhoods and you will see St. Augustine lawns everywhere. The grass is widely used because it is a warm-season turf that performs well in the type of heat and humidity experienced throughout much of Florida.
St. Augustine thrives in warm climates and is widely used throughout Florida and other southern regions.
St. Augustine grasses are commonly used in coastal areas and are valued for their tolerance of Florida growing conditions.
Once established and properly maintained, St. Augustine produces the thick green lawn appearance many Florida homeowners want.
Palmetto is frequently considered for properties that have a mix of sunshine and filtered shade.
Dense turf can help create a uniform lawn and reduce open areas where unwanted weeds may otherwise establish.
The best choice depends on your property, sunlight, appearance preferences and project requirements.
You want a traditional South Florida St. Augustine lawn and your property receives strong sunlight for much of the day.
You want a dense St. Augustine lawn and your property has a combination of sun and areas with filtered shade.
Argentine Bahia is a practical Florida grass option for customers who need dependable coverage over larger areas. It is particularly valued for its ability to handle hot weather and periods of limited rainfall.
Bahia is commonly considered for larger residential properties, commercial landscapes, roadside areas, open spaces and customers looking for a more economical grass option.
Tell us your city, amount of sun and shade, approximate square footage and whether the property is residential or commercial. We can help you compare available sod options.
Florida Sod Suppliers can also source selected specialty grasses for customers who need something beyond our regularly stocked Floratam, Palmetto and Bahia varieties.
Emerald Zoysia produces a fine, dense turf appearance and is often chosen for premium residential landscapes and other properties where a highly manicured look is desired.
Bermuda is a warm-season turfgrass commonly associated with sunny, actively used landscapes and properties that require a finer-textured grass.
Choosing sod is easier when you can see the grass and understand what makes each variety different. Watch our video and then contact Florida Sod Suppliers if you want help deciding which option makes the most sense for your property.
Grass selection should be based on the actual property rather than appearance alone.
Notice how many hours of direct sun the lawn receives and whether trees, buildings or fences create extended areas of shade.
A residential front lawn, large commercial area and actively used landscape may each have different priorities.
Consider irrigation, drainage and how much ongoing lawn care the property will realistically receive.
