3) I’ve seen chinch bugs eat through a neighborhood of Floritam. It does not go dormant when it is not irrigated, it just dies. 2) It requires a tremendous amount of water, even if it is “trained”. Augustine (in my opinion) is not conducive to that. My objective was to create a nice area for cooking out, playing with the dogs etc. Augustine for several reasons, 1) I hate walking on it with bare feet. Regarding your questions, I don’t want to use St. The Centipede makes a pretty nice lawn with very little work. Plus, the Palmetto has much better shade tolerance – I am facing the prospect of lots of beds around the sides of my house, corners in the fence, etc., where there is too much shade for the Empire. My Empire Zoysia is prettier than either, but I work myself to death on it. I am really impressed with the performance of my neighbors’ lawns who have used Palmetto St. I still like the lawn, but I have learned the hard way that the sales information is what gets repeated over and over until it is accepted as fact – not always accurate. I can tell you from my recent experience in installing this sod that, although it is beautiful, many of the marketing claims are “hype,” i.e., 7 – 10 day mowing cycle (right – I am mowing every 5 -6 days to keep the seed-heads at bay), good shade tolerance (nope – nowhere near St. Empire is supposed to be resistant to sting nematode problems – but again, this is from the marketing information. Zoysia – I have heard that many of the zoysias don’t perform well in southern Florida due to sting nematodes. In my mind, this amazing growth habit overshadowed it’s unrelenting intrusions into my flower beds. The great thing about bermuda is it’s incredibly toughness and the fact that if you mow it frequently at a low height, it will quickly fill in any hole. Also, if you don’t have a reel mower (in itself a whole separate issue to purchase, maintain, use, etc.) You can expect brown swirl marks from a rotary mower and you will find it impossible to mow the lawn at it’s optimum height. Again, we get a lot of our information on new cultivars from the marketing literature – caveat imperator.Bermuda – I like it, have had a beautiful lawn with it, but it is extremely high maintenance (expect a 4 day cutting cycle when conditions for growth are good). There are significant problems with weeds/insects/diseases – I know that the golf courses that have tried it on Jekyll Island, GA are less than impressed. Although the grass can be grown on salt water (which is a natural weed killer) or gray water, it does much better on high quality fresh water. Even the sales rep from the licensing company advised to stay away from it unless you NEED it, i.e., you are on the ocean’s edge. Seashore Paspalum – Not hearing good results from anybody on the mainland with this – great marketing program – poor real performance.

I live in Southeast Florida, I have well drained sandy soils and full sun.

My choices, as I see it, are Bermuda, Zoysia or Sea Shore Paspalum. I am finilizing my lawn and am trying to create a nice, well maintained grass area (about 800 sf).
