Proper lawn care ensures faster growth of your St. Augustine lawn.
If you’re trying to figure out the best type of grass for your North Texas lawn, you’re not alone. With our region’s hot summers, variable soil types, and occasional shade from mature trees, not all grasses thrive equally here.
In this guide, we’ll compare Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia—three of the most popular warm-season grasses—so you can choose the one that’s best suited to your yard conditions and lifestyle.
Why Choose It:
Bermuda grass is perfect for active families who want a lush, durable lawn. It handles foot traffic well and grows aggressively, making it great for sports fields and backyards with pets.

Why Choose It:
St. Augustine is one of the few grass types that tolerates some shade. It’s ideal for tree-lined neighborhoods or homes with filtered sunlight. Just be aware that it’s not as traffic-resistant as Bermuda.

Why Choose It:
Zoysia is a premium lawn choice with a beautiful appearance and soft texture. It grows slowly and is more expensive to establish, but it’s extremely dense and resists weeds and wear.
Here’s a quick summary:
Grass Type | Sun Tolerance | Shade Tolerance | Durability | Texture |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bermuda | Full Sun | Poor | High | Fine–Medium |
St. Augustine | Partial Sun | Good | Medium | Wide Blade |
Zoysia | Partial–Full | Moderate | High | Dense, Soft |
