Natural Air Conditioner: On a hot summer day a healthy lawn will be 30 degrees cooler than asphalt and 14 degrees cooler than bare ground.
Why choose Bermuda grass over other varieties? The grass offers several benefits, particularly for people living in warmer, drier areas.
It’s Drought Tolerant Although the grass grows best when there is a fair amount of rain, according to Texas A&M Agrilife Extension, it also has the ability to withstand and survive drought conditions. Even if its rhizomes lose about 50 percent of their weight during an extremely dry period, they are able to bounce back once moisture returns.
Homeowners looking for lush grass that tolerates drought and foot traffic without needing large amounts of fertilizer can meet these needs with a zoysia grass lawn. Plant from late spring to early summer for best results. Zoysia is slower to establish itself than other grasses, and, once matured, its blades will grow light to medium green, turning straw-like and brown in cooler winter months.
Zoysia is a dark green turf-like grass with stiff leaf blades. It grows well in the sun and can handle lots of traffic, making it a popular choice for golf courses and coastal areas. Drought tolerance and disease tolerance levels are good, and it can also handle partial shade. This type of grass is very low maintenance, requiring very little water and fertilizer to survive. Its dense turf makes it less susceptible to weeds.
A semi-dwarf variety with fine leaves, Seville has a shallow root system. It has decent shade tolerance and grows well in full sun. With its dark green emerald color its a favorite of Floridians, it can be sensitive to cold weather. Seville sod is quick to establish itself due to its dense, low compact growing habit.
Bahiagrass has coarse leaves and thrives in hot, dry climates and sandy soils. It doesn’t require a lot of fertilizer or irrigation, making it an excellent choice for homes on large lots or acreage — or anywhere where there is little to no irrigation. During extended periods of drought, Bahiagrass will go dormant until conditions become favorable for regrowth.
This type of grass is a Florida favorite. It loves the heat, is resistant to drought and can tolerate high levels of salt. Water it well, and you’ll get a thick layer of turf, filled with broad flat grass blades in a lovely blue-green color. St. Augustine grass establishes quickly in just about any type of soil and produces above-ground runners that help it spread and grow.
