Where Our Sod Comes From
Our sod grass comes fresh from our farms which are located just outside of Bay City along the Texas Gulf Coast. We have all the equipment necessary to deliver your sod to your home or job site.
The Types of Sod We Carry
We sell the following grasses and as you read about them you will find that they each serve a specific purpose. Some of them to name a few are Drought Hardiness, Wear Resistant, and Tropical in Nature.
- St Augustine Sod

St. Augustine Grass
St. Augustine grass is a coarse textured grass. It is not like Bermuda grass which has rhizomes. St. Augustine is a stoloniferous species of grass that roots at the nodes. In other words it spreads and grows from its stolons.
St Augustine will tolerate shaded areas where Bermudas will not. For this reason St. Augustine
Floratam Sod Stolens Notice the Deep Red Color. If it does not have a this color then it is not Floratam Sod
Grass is a very good grass to use when your yard has a lot of trees and shade around it.
There are several variants and species of St. Augustine but two the most common varieties in todays
market are, Floratam and Raleigh.
Both Raleigh St Augustine and Floratam St. Augustine are the two that we specialize in here at Coastal Sod.
Notice the deep red color on these stolon specimens. If the sod your get does not have this deep red color stolon throughout its density then most likely it is not Floratam. Beware, one type of grass is often substituted for another.
Coastal Sod is very particular about our Floratam Sod as we are about all of our sod grasses. We make sure our fields do not contain any other type of grass then what we are farming on that particular field.

El Toro Zoysia Grass
El Toro Zoysia grass is a warm season variety of turfgrass. It has a deep green color and a medium texture.
El Toro Sod has a Beautiful Green Medium Texture
El Toro Zoysia has a relatively high tolerance for shade. Although not quite as tolerant as St. Augustine Grasses it has a much greater tolerance than Bermuda Grasses.
It is very drought tolerant which makes it well suited for our area. El Toro Sod grass also has a high resistance to disease.
El Toro Sod grass stands up to wear and tear. It has a very good recovery rate when it has been damaged by these two conditions.
With the ability for El Toro sod grass to withstand drought conditions, and wear and tear and being disease resistance it is a good choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.
