Sod Delivery in Miami, FL

For most Miami residential lots, Floratam fits the South Florida climate (10b/11a). Empire Zoysia is the strong second pick for traffic-heavy or shade-mixed yards. Send us a photo of your yard with the quote request and we will recommend the right cultivar.

Two to three weeks with proper watering. Water twice a day for the first ten days, then taper off. Spring and fall installs root faster than mid-summer heat.

One pallet, which covers about 450 square feet. Most Miami residential orders run 1 to 6 pallets. Larger commercial and HOA orders are common too.

Both. You can take pallet delivery and install yourself, or book our installation crew for ground prep, grading, laying, and post install care instructions. Add installation when you call.

Yes. Sea-level Miami lots, especially in Brickell, Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove waterfront, and Edgewater, face rising-tide saltwater intrusion through groundwater. Floratam St. Augustine handles moderate salt and is the network default. For directly affected lots, Empire Zoysia, Bermuda, or Seashore Paspalum (specialty salt tolerant grass) are the picks. King-tide flooding events kill non-salt tolerant grass within hours.

Coral Gables enforces strict tree-canopy preservation, meaning many lots have heavy oak, mahogany, or banyan shade. Palmetto or Seville St. Augustine fits dappled shade better than Floratam. For deep canopy, ground-cover alternatives may outperform any grass. Send us photos with your quote and we will recommend the right cultivar or honest alternative.

Zone 10b/11a Miami has no winter dormancy. Floratam stays green every month, and you can install sod year round. Spring and early fall installs root fastest. Summer installs require twice-daily watering for the first two weeks because the heat is constant. Hurricane season (June through November) is a viable install window, but plan installs around storm forecasts.

Established sod usually survives hurricane wind. Saltwater storm surge, common on coastal Miami-Dade lots, kills most sod within hours. Hurricane Andrew, Wilma, and Irma all reshaped Miami landscaping and left long recovery work. After saltwater inundation, plan to re-sod the affected area. We prioritize hurricane-recovery jobs on the Miami route after named storms hit South Florida.

Most upscale Miami HOAs accept Floratam St. Augustine, Empire Zoysia, and Bermuda. Pinecrest, Cocoplum, Gables Estates, Old Cutler, and Key Biscayne typically specify Floratam or Empire Zoysia for the manicured residential look. Bahia and Centipede are usually restricted in Miami master-planned communities. Tell us your HOA when you call and we will match you to a cultivar that complies.
