Which Sod Is Right for Your Jacksonville Yard?
Price matters, but so does fit. The wrong variety costs more in the long run. Here is a plain-English comparison of what each variety is actually built for in Northeast Florida.
The default choice for most Jacksonville homeowners. Grows thick, handles partial shade from oaks and palms, and establishes quickly. If your yard gets 4–6 hours of sun daily, this is the safe pick. Floratam and Palmetto are the two most common cultivars in our area.
The premium option — worth it if you want a lawn that looks like a golf course. Extremely dense, slow-growing (fewer mows), salt-tolerant, and drought-resistant once established. Popular in Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, and HOA communities throughout St. Johns County. Needs full sun (6+ hours).
Built for punishment. Full sun required; Bermuda goes dormant in winter and turns brown, which surprises some homeowners. It recovers from damage faster than any other variety — best for high-traffic areas, sports fields, and open areas with no shade. Not recommended for shaded yards.
The budget-friendly coverage play. Bahia is drought-tolerant, grows well in sandy Northeast Florida soil, and needs minimal inputs once established. The trade-off is appearance — it has an open, coarser texture compared to St. Augustine or Zoysia. Best for large side yards, rear acreage, and utility areas where cost per square foot matters most.

Bahia at $200 per pallet, delivery included, is the lowest-cost variety we carry. It is drought-tolerant and well-suited to Northeast Florida sandy soil. The trade-off is a coarser appearance and open growth pattern compared to St. Augustine or Zoysia. For budget-conscious projects where coverage matters more than curb appeal, Bahia is the practical choice.
Delivery, yes — every per-pallet price listed here already includes delivery, regardless of pallet count. Installation (laying the sod, including ground prep) is optional at $250 per pallet. The calculator above adds it automatically when selected.
Divide your square footage by 450 and round up. A 2,000 sq ft yard needs 5 pallets. A 5,000 sq ft yard needs 12. Measure irregular shapes by breaking them into rectangles, calculating each section, and adding the totals. The sod calculator handles the math for you.
Yes. First Coast Sod charges the same per-pallet price, delivery included, across all of Duval, St. Johns, Clay, and Nassau counties.
Zoysia has a slower growth rate, which means it takes longer to produce at the farm — that is the primary reason for the higher price. On the homeowner side, the slower growth means fewer mows per season, excellent density that crowds out weeds, and strong drought tolerance once established. Many homeowners find the $50/pallet premium pays for itself over a few seasons in reduced lawn care costs.
