Brighten Up with Centipede

Centipede sod is called that for a reason … Many of us know that green is a tertiary, or secondary color. So, when you combine yellow and blue, the result is green. However, this kind of grass has a heavy leaning toward the yellow end of this scale, yielding a lighter lime green for your yard. It turns to go all the way to this yellow color during cold spells and with fertilizer with a high amount of nitrogen.

This form of sod reached our shores in the early part of the 20^th century from Southeast Asia because the government liked its uncanny ability to do well in soil that had little fertility, and it also does not need much maintenance. As well as doing well in the sunny heat, it also sits just fine in the shade. During the cool winter months, centipede grass lays dormant. Unlike other forms of grass we have to offer you in our communities, centipede sod can be cut quite closely when you mow it; if you mow it high it can create dead patches throughout your property. There many forms of this kind of grass, and we look forward to discussing the various merits of centipede sod.
