Compare popular warm-season grasses for sun, shade, traffic, appearance and maintenance before choosing your new lawn.
| Sod type | Why people choose it | Sun / shade | Traffic | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| St. Augustine | Classic broad-blade Florida lawn | Good sun; some varieties handle partial shade | Moderate | Homes and curb appeal |
| Floratam | Widely used St. Augustine cultivar | Prefers good sun | Moderate | Sunny residential lawns |
| Zoysia | Dense, manicured look | Sun to partial shade depending on variety | Good | Higher-finish lawns |
| Bahia | Practical, lower-input turf option | Sun | Moderate | Larger utility areas |
| Bermuda | Fine texture and strong wear tolerance | Best in full sun | High | Active sunny areas |
Start with actual sunlight. A lawn that looks sunny at noon may still spend much of the day in house, fence or tree shade. Next consider how much traffic the yard receives, irrigation access, mowing expectations and the look you want.
