St. Augustine grass is the single most popular choice for sod in Palm Beach County and it is even a requirement for some HOAs and cities. St. Augustine grass has a wider blade and is not as soft as many types of grass you might be used to up north, but its resistance to saltwater and other factors make it a perfect choice for our area.
Floratam and St. Augustine are sometimes thought of as the same thing, but Floratam is actually a type of St. Augustine grass. But it is not your only choice.
The Six Primary Types of St. Augustine Sod Grass in Palm Beach County:
- Bitterblue St. Augustine Grass
- CitraBlue St. Augustine Gras
- Floratam St. Augustine Grass
- Palmetto St. Augustine Grass
- ProVista St. Augustine Grass

These St. Augustine grasses all vary in sun tolerance, irrigation and maintenance needs and the best one for you depends on your particular situation. If sugarcane mosaic virus is a concern to you, then Bitterblue and Palmetto are both varieties of St. Augustine grass that are more resistant and the state of Florida even suggests using Palmetto type St. Augustine sod.
