St Augustine Turfgrass Sod

St Augustine turfgrass sod is a warm-season grass that thrives in high temperatures, making it an ideal turfgrass sod for the hot summers in the Triad areas such as Greensboro and Winston-Salem. St Augustine also grows well in cooler coastal climates. This species of grass is often referred to as “carpet grass” in the Southern United States. This grass has a coarse texture that roots at the nodes. St Augustine sod works best in areas with fertile soil and good drainage. This grass is used mostly for lawns as it does not tolerate heavy foot traffic like some of the other sods. In inland areas such as the Triad, St Augustine does require continual maintenance such as mowing, watering, and fertilizer. Thatching is a common issue for this grass, so it may need to be dethatched. When properly cared for this grass has a beautiful dark green color.
