Bermudagrass vs. St. Augustine Grass // Which Warm Season Turf is Right for Your Lawn?

Are you a cool season grass native that has moved south and doesn't know which warm season grass is right for your lawn? If so, I'll give you the details on how to choose between bermudagrass and St. Augustine grass. They are similar in several ways but have some distinct differences that I'll point out to help you decide. After watching this video, you'll understand what conditions these two grass types prefer, which will make picking one for your lawn much easier.
I decided to share this info while making a trip to visit my in-laws in north Texas. Their lawn has bermuda and St. Augustine for reasons outlined in the video. If you have to pick one or the other, rest assured, they both make for beautiful lawns! Also, be aware, these are not the only two warm season grass types. Zoysia and centipede are other popular options but are not discussed here.

Rio Grande Valley south Texas by the border, st Augustin is the number one seller big-time. I personally always buy St Augustin because I've seen people with Bermuda and it's not consistent, sometimes it's ok but most the time it's not green enough. St Augustin stays green and it's tough in summer and winter, and comes back alive with constant care.

[@BudgetLawns]

👍 great input. Appreciate it.

I’m from Central Florida, I have St Augustine in my front yard w barely any shade and it’s too much direct sun for it. I had to be really on top it watering but then it got fungus many times and then it got bugs plus spending a lot in water until the point I just gave up and it died around 95% Now I’m considering Bermuda since it seems it does better with more direct sun

[@2manysnowdogs]

I live in St. Louis Missouri and I have Meyer Zoysia, Bimini Bermuda and St Augustine grass. Yes, you can grow St Augustine in the transition zone

[@BudgetLawns]

Is your St. Aug. mixed in with the bermuda & zoysia or is it its own stand of turf? You can certainly grow it anywhere the temperature gets hot enough for it. And it does in St. Louis in the summer, just as it does where I live in Arkansas. However, that doesn't mean most people should choose it for their lawn in mine or your area. That's according to agricultural science, not my opinion. St. Aug. is not a cold tolerant grass, and you know just as much as I do that the winters in both of our areas are COLD. Just like I could grow Kentucky Bluegrass here in the transition zone. It'll grow for sure, but when the HOT summer hits, it's toast. Why would I want to deal with the headaches of trying to grow a cool season grass in a hotter than desirable climate? Doesn't make sense. Same goes for St. Aug. in St. Louis. It just doesn't make sense for the average homeowner choosing their grass for their lawn. Now, there area exceptions like yourself who might know more than the average Joe. Cool that you're making it work. Keep it up.

[@miguelbarrientos7276]

Do st augustine plugs work? I'm mean how far apart should I space apart. And how holg before they tie in together. Or am I better off getting a couple of pallets instead?

[@BudgetLawns]

Yea, they'd work. How far apart you space them is dependent on how fast you want the area to fill in. If you want it to fill in faster, closer together is better. If you're patient and don't mind waiting, you can spread them a bit further apart. Sod vs. plugs is really your call based off your budget. You can save a little by plugging. St. Aug. sod is pretty expensive. Thanks for the question and watching! Appreciate ya. Hope this helps.

Informative. If I remove my bermuda lawn and replace with st augustine sod, should I be concerned on the hight of my toro sprinkler heads? In other words, do I need to put risers on my sprinklers lawn sprinklers?

[@BudgetLawns]

Thank you. To be honest, I have no sprinkler system first hand experience. I still do it the old fashioned way with hoses and oscillating sprinklers. Oddly, I enjoy it. But being that st. aug is typically mowed significantly higher than manicured bermuda, it seems like you would want to raise them a pinch to clear the grass. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer. Appreciate you watching.

I live in Tampa FL and I have St. Augustine but we dont really like it. What would be the best or simplest way to get rid of St Augustine and have Bermuda instead? Would Bermuda take over if I just throw some seeds over the st Augustine? Do I have to kill all of the st Augustine first before I plant Bermuda? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

[@tccarroll4912]

How would you recommend filling in my yard which is patchy St aug with Bermuda?

[@BudgetLawns]

Most affordable route would be scalping down and seeding bermuda. You'd likely end up with a mix as both spread quickly and are hard to get rid of. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and the question!

[@Val2073]

Get the sod plugger tool and cut out st agustine squares and replant in bare areas. Spray atrazine to stunt Bermuda so the St Agustine can take over.

[@fabianrocha8372]

Hi, I live in the north o Mexico, close to the Texas Valley, is the only period I have free time for this project, Do you recommend to seed Bermuda in this season?

[@BudgetLawns]

Depends on what your temps are like this time of year. If they're in the 80s and 90s during the day and 60s+ at night, you could make it happen. Hot is the best time to seed bermuda. Just make sure to give it lots of water. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and your question!

[@BudgetLawns]

Yup, that can happen. I've seen a bermuda, st. aug mixed lawn in the Ft. Worth area before. I don't know of any weed and feed products that would be safe for both. You'd definitely want to check the label before applying any. Honestly, though, I'm not up to speed on weed and feeds. I'm not really a fan of them.

Ok, I'll work on one. I"ll have to study up a little bit on bent grass though. I already had experience with St. Aug and bermuda for this one. The only thing I know about bent is that the greens are slick as all get out on a golf course when rolled and mowed low. Haha. Thanks for the suggestion and watching. Be on the lookout.

[@BudgetLawns]

New vid up on bentgrass. Hope it gives ya a little of what you were looking for. Thanks for the recommendation.

5:47 that's St. Augustine

[@BudgetLawns]

Yes, I know. I misspoke. It has been pointed out in another comment. Thanks.

[@Chi_Loutman]

How to identify the right option for you starts at 6:47

[@BudgetLawns]

Thanks for watching.

[@Sgtwebbpd]

Don’t rock so much because your cameras auto focus causes a distortion effect trying to keep you in focus.

[@BudgetLawns]

Thanks for the tip.

[@israellopez5762]

Holy shit, 3 mins in and still no data on which I should have…

[@BudgetLawns]

Whining speeds it up. Keep going.

Zoysia is the best to walk on bear foot 👣

[@BudgetLawns]

It's a beautiful turf for sure. 👊Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@SFBay69]

prefer bermuda ...st aug is coarse and isnt as pretty

[@BudgetLawns]

agree!

[@henrent]

Felt like a 12 minute video with 3 minutes of content.

[@BudgetLawns]

Ah, your poor feelings. I’m sorry. 🎻🍷

[@brianas420]

Neither you want zoysia

[@josephoh2176]

You gotta stop rocking that chair in the video. It's so annoying when watching.

[@BudgetLawns]

You're welcome for the valuable information. And that's all I get? You people crack me up. The things that annoy y'all. If that's annoying, I'd hate to know how much worse it gets. I'll work on it, though. Thanks for the tip!

[@FastEddie368]

Get to the point quicker Please.

[@BudgetLawns]

You got it. Thanks for watching.

[@rotarycomptech]

Saint Augustine grass is garbage

[@BudgetLawns]

Some may argue against that. It’s not my favorite tho. Thanks for watching.

[@fuckthisytusername]

zoysia grass is the best warm season grass that's what I would have if I didn't live in the north east .

[@BudgetLawns]

I hear lots of good things about it. I'm very curious about it myself. Don't see it very often though. Bermuda rules the lawns in my neck of the woods. Appreciate your comment and watching.

[@fuckthisytusername]

@@BudgetLawns maybe one day you can do a renovation and try out zoysia grass. I like that its a much darker green then bermuda and likes to be cut low also .

[@BudgetLawns]

@@fuckthisytusername I like what you're throwing out. I've actually thought about that for my next home. I don't know how long I'll be in this one. I'm thinking the next yard with have zoysia and bermuda! 👊

[@allhustleracing1175]

Stop rocking. Your making me sick

[@BudgetLawns]

😂 Sounds like a personal problem. Stop whining. YOU’RE making me sick.

[@lamehoes220]

Bermuda is best during hot temp states

[@lamehoes220]

St aug always usually dies from not watering or getting enough.. heat destroys it. Plus water restrictions .. some states… (Texas) 😂

[@BudgetLawns]

My in-laws in Dallas know that all too well, unfortunately, lol. Thanks for watching.

[@SFBay69]

Yep....texas summers KILL st aug like nothing
