Best Sod for Florida Treasure Coast Lawns
Compare St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bahia and Bermuda for sun, shade, traffic and maintenance on Florida’s Treasure Coast.
There is no single “best” sod for every Florida property. The right grass is the one that matches your light, traffic, irrigation, soil conditions and expectations.
St. Augustine
A classic Florida lawn choice with broad blades and strong curb appeal. Different cultivars vary in shade performance, so match the variety to the site.
Zoysia
Dense and visually refined. It can be a strong choice for owners who want a tighter, manicured look and are comfortable with its maintenance needs.
Bahia
A practical grass often used where a lower-input, utility-focused lawn is preferred over a highly manicured finish.
Bermuda
Fine-textured, sun-loving and able to handle traffic when maintained appropriately. It is best suited to bright, open areas.
The deciding questions
- How many hours of direct sun does the lawn receive?
- Will kids, pets or equipment create traffic?
- Is irrigation reliable?
- How short and manicured do you want to mow?
- How much maintenance are you comfortable with?
