Sodding

---

Sodding a portion of your lawn is needed when that portion can no longer propagate grass efficiently. A few questions that could help us with your estimate pricing is, What type of grass you need vs what you perfer? What is the approximate square ft. you need to be sodded?

"Deep South Favorite”. One of the most common types among homeowners and businesses. St. Augustine has a good shade tolerance and doesn’t need much direct sunlight. Has a low traffic tolerance, not favorable on an athletic field. St. Augustine becomes dormant under 55-degrees Fahrenheit. It needs more water due to its poor drought tolerance. Cheapest on the scale.

 Bermuda grass sod is a high-performance, warm-season turfgrass known for its fine texture, dense growth, and vibrant green color, particularly in hybrid varieties, and it is favored for its excellent heat and drought tolerance, fast recovery rate from wear and tear, and ability to establish quickly in high-traffic areas like athletic fields. The sod is characterized by its spreading stems (stolons and rhizomes), which create a self-healing, dense mat, but it requires full sun and consistent water, especially during establishment. 

Zoysia grass is drought resistant, grows thick and luscious green. Becomes dormant under 50-degrees Fahrenheit. Most homeowners don’t fertilize zoysia, fertilization can be less as it is a strong type of grass. Zoysia grows aggressive as Bermuda, so mowing is to be expected more frequently as well. The most expensive of all three.

How much does a palette of grass cover?

Typically, a palette of grass will cover about 400-450 square ft. along with a cubic yard of bed mix to add as a layer underneath before the sod.
