Below, the sod and turf experts share three reasons many choose this for their lawns.

Centipede Grass Sod Offers These 3 Benefits

1. Slow Growth

centipede-grass-sod-north-little-rock-arCentipede grass sod has a slow rate of growth, so you don’t need to mow it often. It looks the most green and lush at about 1.5 to 2 inches in height; cut as necessary to maintain the optimal height and appearance.

2. Infrequent Watering

If there are a lot of rainstorms certain times of the year, you won’t need to water the centipede grass sod. In periods of drought, sprinkle the lawn for a good amount of time. Thorough watering prevents stress and encourages better rooting for stronger, heartier grass. 

3. Tolerates Heat

This grass thrives in warm months. Since it doesn’t go dormant like many other grass species, it has a tough time surviving in colder temperatures. Centipede grass sod also tolerates shade well. Plus, the grass recovers quickly when stressed, like during a drought or short period of colder-than-normal temperatures.
