Turf Grass & Sod

Milberger Landscape Nursery offers the largest selection of turf grass sod available in South Central Texas. We presently carry the nineteen varieties of sod, including the newest releases of turfgrass that have been tested and judged reliable in our area. We have sample lawn areas of most of the sod types that we carry. You are invited to examine and walk on these sample lawn areas to help you determine the look and feel of the turf that is most suitable for your landscape.

Milberger purchases sod from only the best growers in the state. These grasses are essentially weed and disease-free and true to the labeled variety. We do not carry grasses that are called “mixed grasses” as they do not meet our standards for reliability. New grasses are introduced regularly. The Turf Grass Industry and the US Department of Agriculture carefully evaluate the varieties that we carry.

Which Turf Grass Is For You?

Each variety of sod has qualities, textures and cultural requirements that are specific. The answer to your question, “which sod should I buy?” will depend on:

  • the amount of shade or sun you have,
  • the type and depth of you soil,
  • what type of traffic you have in your yard, and
  • what budget you have.

Year Round Care Tips

Spring and Summer - General Mowing Guidelines: The rule of thumb for mowing home lawns is to remove 1/3 of the leaf height with each mowing. When St. Augustine reaches 3”, mow it to 2” tall. During drought periods or during periods when watering is restricted allow the leaf blades to exceed 3”. This helps retain moisture and encourages a deeper root structure.
