Grass Varieties We Install in Broken Arrow
Bermuda Grass
The most widely used warm-season grass in northeast Oklahoma for good reason. Bermuda is exceptionally heat-tolerant, drought-resistant once established, and recovers rapidly from foot traffic. It spreads aggressively to fill in thin spots and produces a dense, attractive lawn. Bermuda goes dormant and turns brown in winter — typical for Oklahoma warm-season grasses.
Best for: Full sun areas, high-traffic lawns, drought-prone soils
Zoysia Grass
Zoysia produces one of the densest, most luxurious-feeling lawns available for Oklahoma. It’s more shade-tolerant than Bermuda, extremely resistant to weeds (its density crowds them out), and has good drought tolerance once established. Zoysia spreads more slowly than Bermuda but produces an exceptionally beautiful finished lawn.
Best for: Homeowners who want a premium, carpet-like lawn; moderate shade tolerance
Tall Fescue
The go-to cool-season grass for Broken Arrow properties with significant shade. Tall Fescue stays green year-round in most Oklahoma winters and tolerates the shaded areas under trees where Bermuda struggles. It requires more water than Bermuda in Oklahoma summers and benefits from overseeding every 2–3 years.
Best for: Shaded yards, homeowners who want year-round green color
St. Augustine
A coarse-bladed warm-season grass that thrives in heat and humidity. St. Augustine establishes quickly, provides good shade tolerance for a warm-season variety, and has a lush tropical appearance. It’s less cold-hardy than Bermuda and best suited for protected areas in Broken Arrow.
Best for: Warm, sheltered areas with partial shade
