What is the best grass for Central Florida?

St. Augustine is the most popular choice in Central Florida because it handles heat, humidity and partial shade well. Zoysia is a good option for full-sun areas and has lower water needs once established. Bermuda works well for high-traffic, full-sun lawns.

When is the best time to install sod in Florida?

Sod can be installed year-round in Central Florida, but the best results come from installations done in spring or early summer when warm temperatures help the roots establish quickly. Avoid the coldest weeks of December and January if possible.

How long before I can walk on new sod?

Wait at least 2 weeks before regular foot traffic on new sod. The roots need that time to anchor into the soil. Light foot traffic for watering is fine after the first few days.

Do you prepare the soil before laying sod?

Yes. We remove existing grass or weeds, grade the soil for proper drainage, and apply starter fertilizer before laying the sod. Proper site prep is the most important factor in lawn success.

How much water does new sod need in Florida?

New sod needs water twice daily for the first 2 weeks: once in the morning and again in the afternoon. After roots establish, reduce to 3 to 4 times per week, then transition to a normal irrigation schedule.

Grass Options

3 Grass Types for Central Florida

We help you choose the right grass based on your yard's sun exposure, soil type, watering setup and how the lawn will be used.

St. Augustine

The most popular lawn grass in Central Florida. Handles heat and humidity well, tolerates partial shade and creates a thick, lush green carpet.

Best for: Most residential yards

Sun: Full sun to partial shade

Bermuda

Dense, durable grass that handles heavy foot traffic. Needs full sun. Goes dormant and turns brown in winter but recovers quickly in spring.

Best for: High-traffic full-sun areas

Sun: Full sun only

Zoysia

Slower to establish but very drought-tolerant once rooted. Soft underfoot and stays green longer into the cooler months than Bermuda.

Best for: Low-water, full-sun lawns

Sun: Full sun to light shade
