Sod and Turf Installation

for Pensacola, FL; Navarre, FL & Beyond

At Suncoast Sod Farms Inc., our team provides a variety of high-quality sods, each with its own benefits. Read on to learn more about them!

  • Centipede Sod

    Low Maintenance: Commonly known as “lazy man’s grass,” centipede sod is popular in the Florida area because of its ability to grow in drier soils. As a low-maintenance sod, it’s ideal for home and business owners who don’t have the time to constantly take care of their grass. A slow-growing grass with less need for fertilizer and water than other types of grass, centipede sod is one of the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly options for homeowners.


    Drought Tolerance: Once established, centipede sod is highly tolerant to droughts. Its roots can access water that’s stored deep in the soil, allowing it to withstand dry conditions much better than other grass varieties.


    Natural Weed Suppression: Centipede's often dense growth naturally inhibits weeds from establishing roots. This means that you won’t need to worry about using herbicides to kill the weeds.


    Soft Texture: Typically, this type of sod has a soft texture and fine blades, making it more comfortable to walk on while barefoot. It's an excellent choice for family yards, recreational areas, and other spaces where people will be enjoying time outdoors.


    Resistance to Pests & Diseases: Unlike other grass varieties, it’s relatively resistant to many common pests and diseases. While no grass is entirely immune to issues, centipede sod generally requires fewer pesticides and fungicides to stay healthy and beautiful looking.


    Adaptability: Although it prefers full sun conditions, it can tolerate shaded areas. This means that it can thrive under trees or near structures. While it may not grow as vigorously in shaded areas as it does in full sun, centipede sod can still maintain decent coverage and color, adding flexibility to your landscaping options.

  • Palmetto St. Augustine Sod

    Shade Tolerance: Known for its shade tolerance, this sod can grow well with as little as four hours of direct sunlight each day, making it an excellent choice for yards with lots of trees. 


    Drought and Heat Tolerance: This sod’s extensive root system helps it retain water and recover well from dry spells and heat.


    Adaptability: Palmetto thrives in a variety of climates and soil conditions, making it well suited for the high clay content found in Northwest Florida’s soil.


    Attractive Color and Texture: Emerald green, this sod has a fine texture and rounded leaf blades, making it less prone to thatch buildup. You’ll be able to go barefoot comfortably on this sod!


    Lower Maintenance: Requiring less frequent mowing than taller St. Augustine varieties, Palmetto sod has a dense growth that helps it crowd out weeds naturally, without the help of herbicides.


    Disease and Pest Resistance: Palmetto St. Augustine sod is resistant to many diseases and insects, making it a great choice for a thriving lawn!

  • Empire Zoysia Sod

    Drought Tolerance: Empire Zoysia sod’s deep root system helps it stay green even while withstanding drought conditions. This sod can also go dormant during long dry periods, helping to prevent permanent damage.


    Chinch Bug Resistance: A common pest in Florida, chinch bugs are no match for Empire Zoysia sod, saving you time and money on pest control.


    Low Maintenance: A slow-growing grass, Empire Zoysia requires less frequent mowing than other grass types. Once it’s been established, this grass also needs less water and fertilizer, making it a great low-maintenance option.


    Moderate Shade Tolerance: If your property has a mix of sun and shade, Empire Zoysia may be a great choice! This grass will thrive in the sun but can easily tolerate moderate shade. 


    Durability, Versatility, and Salt Tolerance: This durable sod can not only withstand heavy foot traffic and a variety of soil types, but it even thrives in sandy, salty soils. It’s an ideal choice for lawns and recreational property in coastal areas.


    Color and Texture: This dark green grass has a fine-medium blade texture, making it comfortable to walk on as well as aesthetically appealing.

  • Bahia Sod

    Drought Tolerance: Bahia grass’s root system helps it access water from deep soil levels, enabling it to survive long droughts. Although this grass may turn brown and go dormant during severe droughts, when it finally gets the water it needs, it will recover well.


    Low Maintenance: This sod needs less fertilizer and water than many others, making it a great option if you’d like to spend less of your time taking care of your lawn!


    Adaptability and Heat Tolerance: This sod can tolerate sandy and infertile soil as well as Florida’s hot, humid climate. Even intense heat can’t take down this type of sod!


    Resistance to Pests and Diseases: Compared to many other grasses, Bahia can be less susceptible to insect pests and disease.
