SWFWMD Compliant
Temporary irrigation exemptions navigated for all Hillsborough County sod projects.
Florida-Certified Sod
All sod sourced from Florida-certified growers with guaranteed viability and freshness.
St. Augustine Grass
Floratam St. Augustine is the #1 choice for Tampa lawns — thrives in Hillsborough County's heat and humidity, handles moderate shade, and establishes quickly with proper watering during Tampa's summer rainy season.
- Heat and humidity tolerant
- Handles partial shade

- Thick, carpet-like appearance
Zoysia Grass
Zoysia offers Tampa homeowners a finer-textured, denser lawn with superior drought tolerance once established. Lower water requirements are a major advantage given Tampa's SWFWMD restrictions.

- Excellent heat tolerance
- Good shade tolerance
Bermuda Grass
Ideal for Tampa commercial sites, athletic fields, and STR properties with heavy foot traffic. Bermuda is extremely durable in full-sun Tampa conditions and recovers quickly from wear.
