Whether you’re planting a new lawn or starting over, you may be surprised to find that you have options when it comes to choosing your grass. However, there are a few factors you should consider before you make your choice. For example, you’ll have to think about the conditions your lawn will need to endure, the type of irrigation you use (do you use salt water?), and the PH of your soil. You’ll also want to consider your lifestyle. Here is some information about some of the choices you have here in Florida.

This type of grass is a Florida favorite. It loves the heat, is resistant to drought and can tolerate high levels of salt. Water it well, and you’ll get a thick layer of turf, filled with broad flat grass blades in a lovely blue-green color. St. Augustine grass establishes quickly in just about any type of soil and produces above-ground runners that help it spread and grow. While many Floridians appreciate its ability to grow quickly, others dread the day it needs to be cut. And with St. Augustine grass, that day comes around a little more often. St. Augustine grass is also not a fan of cold temperatures or persistent shade, and it is susceptible to SAD virus and common pests, like chinch bugs.

• Planting Methods: Plugs, sprigs or sod – seeds are rare.
• Ideal Soil Type: Grows in many soil types – PH should be between 5.0 and 8.5.
• Recommended Mowing Height – 3.5 to 4 inches

Bermuda grass is green-gray in color, and its blades are short with long rough edges. Its deep roots make it incredibly resistant to drought, weeds and high traffic, making it a popular choice for golf courses and sports fields. However, its highly invasive nature, make it a tough sell for homeowners. Some call it “the devil’s grass” as it often sets up shop in nearby gardens and flowerbeds. Bermuda grass grows rapidly in all types of soil, producing seeds, runners and rhizomes. However, like many types of Florida grass, it is sensitive to cold temperatures, pests and shade. Regular maintenance and weekly watering help maintain appearance.

• Planting Methods: Seed or sprigs
• Ideal Soil Type: Grows in many soil types.
• Recommended Mowing Height – 0.5 to 2 inches

Bahiagrass has coarse leaves and thrives in hot, dry climates and sandy soils. It doesn’t require a lot of fertilizer or irrigation, making it an excellent choice for homes on large lots or acreage — or anywhere where there is little to no irrigation. During extended periods of drought, Bahiagrass will go dormant until conditions become favorable for regrowth. Pensacola Bahiagrass is the most common type of Bahiagrass in Florida. It is more resistant to stress and cooler temperatures than other types of Bahiagrass. However, it still presents some challenges. This grass has unattractive seed heads, is sensitive to overwatering, is susceptible to weeds, and grows poorly in shaded areas. Weekly mowing is often needed.

• Planting Method: Seeds
• Ideal Soil Type: Grows best in sandy soils with a low PH.
• Recommended Mowing Height – 3 to 4 inches

Centipede grass is a popular choice for Florida homeowners who want a low-maintenance lawn. Because it is a low-growing grass, it doesn’t require a lot of mowing. And unlike other types of Florida grass, Centipede grass doesn’t just thrive in the sun. It also grows in cooler temperatures and shade. All it take is a little fertilizer to keep its yellow-green blades looking their best. While this may sound like the best Florida grass ever, there are a few conditions that wreak havoc on this type of grass. It can’t handle a lot of traffic or salt, and it is susceptible to nematodes and ground pearls.

• Planting Methods: Seed
• Ideal Soil Type: Grows best in sandy, mildly acidic soils with a PH between 5 and 6.
• Recommended Mowing Height – 1.5 to 2 inches

Zoysia is a dark green turf-like grass with stiff leaf blades. It grows well in the sun and can handle lots of traffic, making it a popular choice for golf courses and coastal areas. Drought tolerance and disease tolerance levels are good, and it can also handle partial shade. This type of grass is very low maintenance, requiring very little water and fertilizer to survive. Its dense turf makes it less susceptible to weeds. Zoysia will go dormant after a frost, but resumes growth once the soil returns to 70 degrees. It reproduces via stolons and rhizomes.

• Planting Methods: Plugs, seeds or sod.
• Ideal Soil Type: Adapts to a variety of soil types, but thrives in soils low in potassium.
• Recommended Mowing Height – 1 to 2 inches
