Quality Bermuda Grass Sod

The Houston Sun-Lover’s Guide to Bermuda Grass

Bermuda grass is the “Gold Standard” for durability and heat resilience in wide-open, sunny Houston landscapes. TexTurf 10 is the ideal “homeowner’s hybrid,” offering a dense, clean look that repairs itself rapidly from foot traffic and can be maintained with a standard rotary mower. For a professional sports-field or golf-course aesthetic, Tifway 419 provides an elite, fine-bladed finish that has been the industry benchmark for over 50 years. Crucially, all Bermuda varieties require 100% direct sunlight (at least eight hours daily) and will fail in the shade of trees or structures.

The Toughest Grass in Texas

If your yard is wide open to that intense Texas sun, Bermuda grass is your champion. Everyone knows Bermuda is tough, but most people think they have to choose between ‘ugly’ common grass or a high-maintenance golf course turf. At Houston Grass, we offer two hybrid varieties that give you that elite, professional look without the professional-level headache

TexTurf 10: The Homeowner’s Hybrid

First up is TexTurf 10, a hybrid developed by Texas A&M specifically for our local conditions. It’s a close cousin to the Bermuda that grows naturally here, but it stays clean and green without those excessive seed heads you see on common grass. It’s dense, feels like a carpet under your feet, and handles our heavy ‘gumbo’ clay soils exceptionally well. If your kids play soccer or your dogs tear through the yard, this grass repairs itself faster than almost any other. Best of all? You can keep it looking great with a sharp, traditional rotary mower.

Tifway 419: The Gold Standard Showpiece

Now, if you want the absolute ‘gold standard,’ that’s Tifway 419. This is the grass you see on championship golf courses and professional football fields across Texas. It features a fine-bladed texture and a deep, vibrant green color that really sets a landscape apart. It’s engineered for sports—meaning if it can handle a 250-pound linebacker, it can handle your golden retriever. It loves nitrogen fertilizer and, for that manicured ‘golf course’ look, it performs best when kept closely mown with a reel mower.

The “Must-Know” Sunlight Rule

There is one non-negotiable with any Bermuda: Sunlight. These varieties need at least eight hours of direct, 100% sunlight every single day to thrive
. If you have big oak trees or heavy shade, Bermuda will disappear in a hurry—in those cases, we should be talking about St. Augustine instead.
