Green Grass is Good for the Environment
Grass helps to cool the environment, reduces carbon
in the air around you and controls erosion.

On a hot day, lawns will be 30 degrees cooler than asphalt and 14 degrees
cooler than bare soil. The front lawns of eight houses have the
cooling effect of about 70 tons of air conditioning.

Turf lawns reduce stormwater runoff by purifying water passing through its root zone.

By absorbing and deflecting sounds, life's a little quieter with a lawn.

Dust and seasonal pollens that cause allergies first have to get through
your grass to get to you.

2,500 square feet of lawn absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
and releases enough oxygen daily for a family of four to survive.

St. Augustine Varieties

Light to medium green in color, St. Augustine varieties, including Floratam, Palmetto and Seville, generally grow fast, establish themselves rapidly and require only low to moderate maintenance. Give your St. Augustine lawn a good soaking every three to six days to bring out its eye-catching tones.

Floratam - A popular choice among Florida homeowners, Floratam is adaptable to many soil conditions. With a plush appearance, Floratam thrives in direct sunlight.

Palmetto - Performs well in many environments including full sun or shade. Thrives in moderate to heavy shade, and is drought tolerant due to its deep, heavy root system. Has an exceptional dark green color.

Seville - Blue-green in color with excellent color retention, Seville tolerates salt, shade, and drought well. Its long leaf blade gives it a unique appearance preferred by many homeowners.


Argentine Bahia

Bahia grass is a good low input warm season grass. It provides a decent "medium utility" turfgrass lawn in Southern state areas and has a beautiful light green color. Bahia turf requires a moderate amount of lawn care, maintenance and mowing.
