SOD GRASS INSTALLATION: VARIETIES TO CONSIDER
Now and through the Summer and early Fall is an optimum time to enhance the beauty of your lawn by having beautiful new turf sod professionally installed. Choosing from Zoysia, Bermuda, or TifGrand Bermuda can give you the lawn you've always wanted. Installing a sod lawn is instantly beautiful because it produces a finished lawn immediately, unlike trying to establish a lawn using grass seed, which can take several years or longer. Also, sod turf grasses are grown professionally, and unlike seeding a yard, professionally grown sod does not have weeds. Sod turf grasses are denser and can help prevent soil erosion because the grass is so densely grown together.
Zoysia turf has an excellent deep green color, and it grows slowly with requires less mowing. Zoysia grasses thrive in Georgia's heat and sun, and can tolerate partial shade as well. Zoysia grasses have the finest leaf blade of the commercially grown turf grasses and are perfect for spotlight areas such as pool areas or beautifully landscaped front entrances.
Bermuda grasses thrive in hot weather and grow very rapidly in full sun, crowding out any encroaching weeds from outside the sod turf grass perimeter. Bermuda is a drought tolerant grass which means it will continue to grow when some other grasses may not survive. TifGrand Bermuda has a very fine leaf with dark green blades and has improved shade tolerance over some other turf grasses, which is ideal for areas that do not receive full sun all day long.
