What is the best type of grass for Florida?

Douglas Hunt on Jan 13, 2012Crissy, there is no one answer to what is the best grass. Questions that can impact what is best for you include: do you have sun or shade, do you have a lot of foot traffic, is your yard flat or do you have to contend with a slope, etc. St. Augustine is very popular (most people in my neighborhood have it), but it takes a lot of water, so many people are looking for alternatives to it these days. I would suggest you check out drought-resistant choices like Bahiagrass or Zoysiagrass,. Bahia has a course texture and requires frequent mowing, while Zoysia is fine-textured and grows more slowly. But it is more expensive initially. I put in Emerald Zoysia when I re-did my yard and I am very happy with it. If you want a yard you can walk through barefoot, it's a great choice.Helpful Reply
