    Hello, great video. there's definitely more than 8 cultivars you missed some great ones, Like amerishade, Delmar, citrus blue, delta shade, Captiva, sapphire and my favorite one Texas Native St Augustine. First time here keep up the great work bud

      You are absolutely right. I corrected myself at the end. But I should of at the beginning as well. These are the 8 most popular in Florida. I got a little over excited. Thank you for bringing this up.
      Maybe I need to do a part 2 with these types.
      Great comment!!👍

    “Raleigh” should probably be pronounced like the name “Molly” but with an “R” - like the way the city where NC State is is pronounced. Thanks for the informative video. Looking for information on Tamstar St Augustine, but looks like its so new that no one has any info on it. Our local sod supplier carries it.

    • @bettercallchadd
      @bettercallchadd  2 года назад

      After doing my research for this video the provista and Citra blue looked to be the best looking St.augustine by far!!! The type of St.augustine makes a huge difference. Floratam seems to be very high maintenance and very average looking.
      All my other viewers love thier pro Vista. Enjoy your new lawn!!

    Great info thanks. I am going to do a full reno on my front yard in Crystal River. I am leaning towards citra blue because I love the color, it is as salt tolerant as the other st augustines?

    • @bettercallchadd
      @bettercallchadd  2 года назад

      I believe all hold similarly salt tolerance unless I said otherwise. But you are not directly on the beach you should be good to go.
      Citra blue is beautiful and was one of my favorites as well.

      A lot of sod farms are ditching Cirta Blue for being so problematic!! One thing I know is it definitely needs good soil.

    I have Floratam which seems to have the fungus you were talking about. If I use plugs or even a piece of sod of another St. Augustine type grass will it take over or even help?

    • @bettercallchadd
      @bettercallchadd  Год назад

      Probably not!! Floratam is a good type as well. When you mix, it can be harder to have a nice even color and growth lawn.

      It should be. That's a tough area to grow grass so make sure to on top of the grass when it is first installed.

    Hi Chaad. So I am still new with taking care of my grass. I was trying to figure out my grass type. The Home Depot and Lowe’s stores where I purchased my grass says they carry “Harmony” grass? I do not see it listed in your list from your video. Have you heard from this type of grass?

    • @bettercallchadd
      @bettercallchadd  3 месяца назад +1

      Harmony is the company that grows the grass. Try going to a local nursery for better and more information.

    Hey Chad, thanks for all the great information! Perhaps you can help me and making a decision. I am wanting to sod my backyard in St. Augustine because I absolutely love the way it looks. However, I have 2 dogs a border collie mix and a chocolate lab 😂😊. This will be a high traffic area where they run and play. Before I invest in doing this. Should I reconsider and possibly go with a type of Bermuda instead in your opinion? Thanks for your help. Also if Saint Augustine still is a good choice, which type would you recommend? I live in Alabama. Yard is mostly sunny, one shade tree. Thanks for all you do😁

    • @bettercallchadd
      @bettercallchadd  Год назад +1

      St.augustine is the worst traffic grass, and bermuda is some of the best. Recommend doing research on the care for bermuda in your area. The bermuda will be more maintenance.
      Floratam St.augustine is the way to go for type of St.augustine.

      @@bettercallchadd Hi there, thanks for your response. After researching it, I believe I have decided to go with something called celebration Bermuda . It is able to tolerate a little bit of shade high traffic and has a rich dark green with a blue hue to it. Doing soil preparation this weekend. Having it delivered next week. Thanks for your advice. I appreciate it

      Thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate it.
      Thier is nothing that is close to the St.augustine texture that grows by seed other then crabgrass but you don't want that in the lawn.
      The best thing to seed would be bermuda but make sure that is right for your area and soil.
