The South Texas Grass Challenge
Corpus Christi isn't just hot; it's humid, salty, and often dry. Not every grass type can handle the Coastal Bend climate. Here are the top performers for our area.
1. St. Augustine Grass
By far the most common grass in Corpus Christi. It's salt-tolerant and handles shade better than other varieties. However, it requires consistent watering during the peak of summer.
2. Bermuda Grass
The 'tough guy' of Texas turf. Bermuda is incredibly drought-tolerant and can handle high foot traffic. It's the perfect choice for homes with kids or pets.
3. Zoysia Grass
The premium choice. Zoysia feels like a carpet under your feet and handles heat exceptionally well. While it grows slower than Bermuda, it offers a luxurious look that's hard to beat.
