Where Palmetto does best in Austin
Palmetto is the St. Augustine for mixed sun and shade. It keeps its color and density with 4 to 5 hours of direct sun, which suits older Austin lots with mature oaks. It handles summer heat and drought better than Raleigh, with medium to high drought tolerance. It isn't built for heavy foot traffic, so a backyard with kids and dogs is better served by a Zoysia or Bermuda. In summer it needs about 1 to 1.5 inches of water a week, watered early in the morning.
How much Palmetto St. Augustine do you need?
One pallet of Palmetto St. Augustine covers about 450 sq ft. Measure the area in square feet, divide by 450 and round up, then add 5 to 10% for cuts around beds, trees and curves. A 2,000 sq ft yard, for example, comes to 5 pallets before that extra. Our delivery minimum is 1 pallet, brought out on a flatbed. The sod calculator does the math for you, and this guide walks through measuring an odd-shaped yard.
Lead time and delivery
We'll confirm availability and a delivery date when we quote your job. We deliver across Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Kyle, Buda and Leander, and delivery pricing depends on distance and order size.
Installation and ground prep
Our crew can prep the ground and lay it for you. Most yards just need light raking, uneven ones get topsoil and grading, and lawns full of old grass or weeds get a full sod removal and renovation first. See how sod installation works.
