St. Augustine is a variety that was created a Mississippi State by cross-pollinating, making it more cold-tolerant. It's also the most shade-tolerant sod that we offer. St. Augustine performs exceptionally well in areas with partial to moderate shade, making it ideal for lawns under trees or near buildings. It has a vibrant green color and is denser, which means it's less susceptible to weed pressure. Plus, St. Augustine grows rapidly and repairs itself quickly from damage. Whether you're working with filtered sunlight or salt-exposed soil, this grass is built thrive where others struggle.
