Grandview grows and sells two varieties of St Augustine sod (Classic and Floratam). Both are similar to the eye, but have slight differences.
St Augustine Sod – “Classic”
- Classic is semi-shade tolerant.
- Low growing choice for St Augustine sod, therefore less mowing is needed.
- More cold tolerant than Floratam and has a smaller leaf.
- Classic, once established, requires the same amount of water as St. Augustine Floratam unless it is in a shady area, then it would require less water.
St Augustine Sod – “Floratam”
- Floratam is coarse-textured species forming stolons or above-ground stems that reach out for several feet.
- St. Augustine Floratam is the most commonly used and most popular sod in Florida.
- It requires at least 6+ hours of full sunlight daily to thrive.
- Prefers warmer weather and is popular for cultivation in tropical and subtropical regions.
Care Instructions for St Augustine Sod:
- Let the sod take root in your ground before mowing.
- Water 30 minutes per day for 2-3 week to get rooted, then as needed.
- Once rooted, keep grass mowed to a height of 3.5 to 4 inches for best root growth.
- Mow every 4 to 7 days during peak growing season.
