St. Augustine vs. Zoysia Grass for Nocatee Lawns

Appearance

St. Augustine typically has broader blades and a lush tropical look. Zoysia often has a finer, denser appearance.

Sun and shade

Both varieties need adequate light, but site conditions matter. Shade tolerance can vary by cultivar and lawn layout.

Maintenance

Mowing height, fertilization, irrigation and pest pressure can differ. The right choice should fit how much maintenance you are willing to manage.

Before replacing turf

If the current lawn is failing because of irrigation coverage, drainage, shade or grading, correct the underlying issue first.
