Here’s Houston Grass Owner Michael Romine talking about picking the best St. Augustine grass for your project.

I felt I was in a time crunch in needing to get a pallet of grass delivered before rain was scheduled to come in. Houston Grass delivered within the hr of my placing the order. My delivery guy was courteous and quick to unload. The quality of the grass was high for the fall time of the year. I’m very satisfied. – Paul D – November 9, 2017

We recently moved to Galveston and it was hard to find St. Augustine sod on the island. Found Houston Grass via Google and had 80 pieces in the back of my Tahoe within an hour. The quality of the grass couldn’t have been better and your staff were very helpful and friendly. This weekend I needed more and rather than drive the extra 30 minutes I went to the only nursery on the island because I was told they had sod available now. I purchased the exact same number of pieces (80) and the price was literally DOUBLE what you charged. It was actually a little more than double. Additionally, after finally receiving the correct sod (that’s a whole other story), the quality wasn’t even close to the same. There is a night and day difference between the grass I received from you compared to the other. I now find myself in need of one final truck full and I’m just waiting for first thing tomorrow morning when you open so I can give you a call. And for what it’s worth, this is probably the third review I’ve ever written about anyone in my entire life; the quality and service were both so different I felt compelled to do so. Thank you and I wish you all well.

Raleigh St. Augustine Grass

Raleigh St. Augustine offers easy care and great prices and that’s why it’s the most popular grass in the Houston area.  Raleigh St. Augustine grass sod has a medium leaf and stolon size.

Potential disease problems for this variety of grass are gray leaf spot in the summer and brown patch in the fall. Both of these diseases are made more likely by over watering.  They’re also more likely after fertilization.

Potential insect problem include chinch bugs. This insect becomes active during hot dry periods. They are first detected by brown patches in the lawn that do not recover after watering. A variety of liquid and granular insecticides are available to control chinch bugs. Make an application to the entire lawn and water thoroughly to eliminate the problem.

Please check our video on why you might pick Raleigh St. Augustine grass sod for your next lawn project.

*UPDATE 8/25/2020: Raleigh St. Augustine grass is still green and healthy.* ORIGINAL POST JUNE 2018: After years of struggling with the sod laid down over construction debris and sand by our homebuilder we decided to either have a layer of sand or topsoil put over the existing grass or replace the grass. We had seen Houston Grass South many times from Hwy 6, so after a Google search, watching Michael in their YouTube videos and going to look at a sample of their Raleigh St. Augustine, we decided to replace our grass. Shannon in the office recommended 2 installers and when everything was scheduled, she made the payment process easy. The pallets of grass were delivered as promised and are high quality, beautifully green, and lush. Installation is ongoing, but that picture you’ll see when you Google “GREEN with envy” is a group photo of our neighbors. Thank you Houston Grass South for answering questions and for delivering an off-the-charts high quality local product that is affordable and showcases our home.

Palmetto St. Augustine Grass

Palmetto St. Augustine grass sod has finer textured leaves and stolens when compared to Raleigh St. Augustine grass. Tighter leaf spacing gives it a thicker look. Palmetto St. Augustine does not require the full sunlight that Raleigh St. Augustine requires, but it does need at least three to four hours of direct sunlight with filtered sun throughout the rest of the day.

Because of the denser turf appearance, it gives a better grass sod appearance in the shade. A massive root system gives Palmetto St. Augustine grass good drought resistance.

Potential disease problems for Palmetto St. Augustine grass as well as for Raleigh St. Augustine are gray leaf spot in the summer and brown patch in the fall. Both of these diseases are made more likely by over watering.  They’re also more likely after fertilization.

These diseases can be prevented by an application of the fungicide, Terrachlor (PCNB). Terrachlor is the product of choice, but it is difficult to find. Scotts Lawn Fungus Control or Turficide is an alternative that can be found at home improvement stores.

Potential insect problems include chinch bugs. This insect becomes active during hot dry periods. They are first detected by brown patches in the lawn that do not recover after watering. A variety of liquid and granular insecticides are available to control chinch bugs. Make an application to the entire lawn and water thoroughly to eliminate the problem.

I could not have been happier with the quality of grass and service I received from these folks. I purchased 2 pallets of Palmetto St. Augustine to replace a portion of my front yard. The grass was delivered on time as promised and every single piece on both pallets was an emerald green rectangle of beauty! No dead spots, no ants; just lush green blades of perfection. I’ve shamefully bought from other suppliers but I guarantee you this place has the best quality I’ve found in Houston. Thanks very much for great advice, service and a yard to be instantly jealous of!
