Bermuda Grass
-
Bermuda grass is a highly regarded warm-season turfgrass known for its exceptional durability, strong heat tolerance, and rapid growth rate. This makes it a favored choice for lawns, sports fields, and golf courses, particularly in the southern regions of the United States, such as Texas. Characterized by fine to medium-textured green blades, Bermuda grass spreads aggressively through both stolons and rhizomes, forming a dense, carpet-like lawn that is resilient under heavy foot traffic.
This grass type thrives best in full sun and well-drained soils. Its active growing season requires consistent care, including regular mowing and fertilization. Bermuda grass typically goes dormant and turns brown during cooler winter months. Its resilience, remarkable drought tolerance, and ability to recover quickly from damage further contribute to its popularity in warm climates.

To maintain a healthy Bermuda grass lawn, provide abundant sunlight and mow frequently at a short height—ideally keeping it between 1 and 1.5 inches during the warm season. Mowing every few days encourages the grass to develop a thick, lush appearance. Water the lawn deeply but infrequently, offering about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week in the summer, preferably in the early morning. Fertilize every 6 to 8 weeks using a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to support vigorous growth. Apply pre-emergent herbicides in the spring and fall to manage weed growth, and aerate the soil annually to improve drainage, especially in heavy clay soils. As the weather cools, gradually reduce watering, avoid fertilization in winter, and allow the grass to naturally enter dormancy until spring growth resumes.
St. Augustine Grass
-
St. Augustine grass is another warm-season turfgrass, recognized for its coarse texture and dense, lush, dark green appearance that creates a thick, carpet-like lawn. Unlike some grasses, St. Augustine spreads primarily through stolons rather than seeds, making it well-suited for filling in shaded or partially shaded areas where other grass types may struggle to establish. It is particularly successful in warm, humid climates across the southern United States, displaying strong tolerance for both salt and heat.
To maintain its vibrant color and overall health, St. Augustine grass requires regular watering, mowing, and fertilization. While it does not tolerate drought as well as Bermuda or Zoysia grass, its shade tolerance and ability to establish quickly make it a popular option for residential lawns, particularly in coastal and southern regions.
-
Plant St. Augustine grass in sites that receive full to partial sun. Maintain a mowing height between 2.5 and 4 inches, mowing regularly but never removing more than one-third of the blade at any one time. Provide deep, infrequent watering—about 1 to 1.5 inches per week, ideally early in the morning—to encourage a robust root system and enhance drought tolerance. Fertilize every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer that is higher in nitrogen. Use pre-emergent herbicides in spring and fall to limit weeds, and aerate the lawn annually to decrease soil compaction and manage thatch buildup. Monitor for common pests such as chinch bugs and sod webworms. As winter approaches, reduce both watering and mowing, allowing the grass to partially enter dormancy until temperatures rise in spring.
Zoysia Grass
-
Zoysia grass is a warm-season, slow-growing turfgrass valued for its dense, fine- to medium-textured blades that contribute to a thick, carpet-like appearance. This grass type spreads through both stolons and rhizomes, resulting in a durable lawn capable of recovering from moderate foot traffic and general wear. Zoysia is highly tolerant of heat and drought, and it can thrive in both full sun and partial shade. Compared to many other grasses, it requires less frequent mowing and fertilization.
The dense growth habit of Zoysia grass helps suppress weeds, and its adaptability to a range of soil conditions makes it a popular selection for both residential lawns and commercial landscapes in warm regions. Its lush, low-maintenance qualities are especially appreciated in areas seeking a resilient turfgrass option.
-
Establish Zoysia grass in areas with full sun to partial shade. Maintain a mowing height of 1 to 2 inches, mowing regularly and being careful not to remove more than one-third of the blade at a time. Water the lawn deeply but infrequently, supplying approximately 1 inch of water per week during dry periods to promote deep root development. Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer lightly every 6 to 8 weeks throughout the growing season. Use pre-emergent herbicides in early spring to prevent weed growth, and aerate annually to reduce soil compaction and manage thatch. Watch for pests such as chinch bugs or fungal diseases, which can occur in hot, humid conditions. During winter dormancy, Zoysia grass will turn brown; reduce watering and mowing until active growth resumes with warmer weather.
