Bermuda sod is a dense, fine-bladed grass for lawns in full sun. It handles Florida heat and direct sun, and it recovers fast from hard use. The UF/IFAS Extension rates its wear and drought tolerance excellent. We sell 419 Bermuda, also called Tifway, a hybrid that UF/IFAS lists among golf and athletic field grasses.

Start with the sun. Bermuda grass needs full sun, and UF/IFAS rates its shade tolerance poor. It tends to thin out under big trees and on the shady side of a house. For those spots, shade-tolerant St. Augustine sod or Zoysia sod does better.
Where it gets sun, Bermuda takes a beating and comes back. UF/IFAS gives it the highest wear rating in its chart of Florida lawn grasses. That suits a backyard where kids play ball and the dog runs the fence line. It spreads by runners above and below the ground, so worn spots fill in once traffic eases.
The tradeoff is upkeep. UF/IFAS rates its maintenance medium to high, the most of the four grasses we sell. It grows fast, which can mean mowing once or twice a week, and that growth builds thatch. For a lower-care lawn on a big sunny lot, Bahia sod asks for less.
Near the coast, salt reaches lawns through ocean spray and salty water. UF/IFAS says Bermuda tolerates moderate to high salt levels, as do Zoysia and St. Augustine. Bahia has less salt tolerance. That makes Bermuda a good fit for sunny beachside yards along A1A and lots on the Halifax River.
Most of Ormond Beach sits on sand, per NRCS soil maps. Much of the mainland has wet flatwoods sand, and the beachside has dry dune sand. Bermuda grows in either, but sand favors nematodes, tiny worms that feed on grass roots. UF/IFAS calls them the most serious pest of Bermuda in Florida, and your county Extension office can help diagnose them.
Bermuda rides out the spring dry spell: it can brown and go dormant, then green up again with water. To keep it green, water when the blades fold or turn blue-gray. The extension service suggests one-half to three-quarters of an inch each time. The St. Johns River Water Management District caps it at three-quarters of an inch per zone per watering day.
Bermuda sod is sold by the pallet. Measure the sunny area you want covered, then see how sod delivery and pickup work for pallet counts. Have the ground ready before the sod arrives, and lay it the day it comes.
The extension service spells out the method. Lay Bermuda sod on bare, moist soil in a staggered brick pattern, with the edges fitted tight. Roll it and water it deeply, so the roots make good contact with the soil.
On an install, our crew tears out the old grass and weeds and grades the ground first. Then we lay the new Bermuda sod and water it in. If the sprinklers miss a corner, we handle irrigation repair and adjustments before the new sod goes down.

The old lawn or the worn-out beds come out first. Then we grade the ground, and pavers get a compacted base.
We lay the new sod and water it in, or set the pavers and sweep in the joint sand. Then water new sod every morning for its first two weeks.

My experience was excellent. Cesar was punctual and did an outstanding job installing a stone retaining wall in the front of my house. He completed the job in a very professional manner. He takes pride in his work and the finished product is beautiful. I would recommend Cesar and GBS Sod and Landscape to anyone who needs a retaining wall installed.
Caesar and Hugo did an awesome job in getting my front and backyard looking beautiful. They stripped my backyard and my front yard, put in new irrigation, border paving, weed block, seashell, along with new sod. My beach house now looks like something that belongs in a magazine. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me. GBS sod landscaping was fair priced, worked on time, and completed my job in a very quick time. I highly recommend GBS Sod and Landscaping for all your yard needs.
