cobalt™ hybrid st. augustine
Cobalt™ Hybrid St. Augustine features excellent drought and shade tolerance, disease resistance, winter hardiness and has a good establishment rate. This variety exhibits exceptional visual appeal with its dark green genetic color and wide leaf blades.
Available at our Birmingham, Fort Walton Beach, Panama City Beach, and Pensacola locations.
Classic St. Augustine
Woerner’s Classic St. Augustine is a true “Southern Style” grass with wide blades and a beautiful green color that is more cold-tolerant than other varieties of St. Augustine and performs well in the shade.
Available at our Birmingham, Fort Walton Beach, Gulfport, Panama City Beach, and Pensacola locations.
TifTuf™ Bermuda
TifTuf™ Bermuda maintains acceptable quality under drought stress without going dormant like many drought-tolerant grasses. It is now utilized as the scientific standard for all future university drought-tolerance evaluation trials. TifTuf™ Bermuda has consistently ranked in the highest quality groups in the 2014 NTEP trials.
Available at our Birmingham, Fort Walton Beach, Gulfport, Panama City Beach, and Pensacola locations.
ZOYSIA (PALISADES™ & EMERALD™ )
Palisades Zoysia™ is the most popular grass on the market today. Palisades is best known for its superior drought and shade tolerance. Due to its impressive low-maintenance characteristics, it’s an excellent choice for home lawns, commercial projects, and golf courses.
Emerald Zoysia™ is a hybrid variety offering a dark emerald, green color , and finer blade texture with a low growth habit that requires less mowing. It stands up well to foot traffic and has better cold tolerance than Centipede or St. Augustine. It’s a proven winner in the Gulf Coast region.
Available at our Birmingham, Fort Walton Beach, Gulfport, Panama City Beach, and Pensacola locations.
Centipede & Century Centipede Seed
Centipede has long been one of if not the most used turf grasses along the Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana Gulf Coast. It is very durable and is fairly low maintenance compared to most other grasses.
Woerner Landscape provides Centipede seed from Century Seed, which has proven itself to be the best all-around lawn grass for most sections of the South, particularly the Southeast. Century Seed Centipede seed is also available raw and in bulk.
Centipede Sod is currently unavailable but will be back in stock soon.
Century™ Centipede Seed is available at our Birmingham, Fort Walton Beach, Gulfport, Panama City Beach, and Pensacola locations.
90/10 Fescue Blend
Once established, Fescue is proven to require less water due to its ability to grow an extensive, deep root system tapping into deeper water sources. The addition of newer Fescue and Texas Hybrid varieties in our blend means that 90/10 Fescue can spread and “fill in” and repair itself like bluegrass.
Available at our Brighton, CO location.
4-Way Kentucky Bluegrass Blend
By blending these quality bluegrasses, we have created a superior sod well-suited for our region and climate. Our unique blend gives an outstanding combination of important characteristics that are essential for high-quality bluegrass.
Available at our Brighton, CO location.
