Shade Tolerant Southern Grasses
Posted on 11/24/20 at 4:34 pm

I’ve got a few areas in my backyard that are extremely thin due to shade. I plan on cutting back the limbs I can to hopefully allow more sun, but a couple spots are near the house where I can’t do anything about that. What grass plug would be the best to give me a fighting chance of thickening up these portions of the lawn? I currently have mainly Bermuda in the backyard with a little centipede mixed in but I don’t really care about having mixed match grasses in the backyard.

St. Augustine and Palisades Zoysia are the highest rated for shade. I have the same issue with most of my back yard being under a HUGE old live oak.
Woerner Landscape has both; their "Classic" St. Augustine is highest rated for shade

St aug and zoysia. Geo zoysia is the most shade tolerant warm season grass you can buy. 2-4 hours of sun a day.

I have some sizable patches of monkey grass under my live oaks that I mow they are my best grass under those trees. Looks good too. However they spread slowly. Would be costly to try to fill it all in with monkey grass.

Thanks for the help. I guess I need to locate someone that carries zoysia plugs in central Alabama.

Even after cutting the limbs back, you are likely just delaying the inevitable by going with grass. Monkey grass is a great suggestion, just make sure you don’t get the dwarf variety. It will spread over time on its own and you can speed that up by cutting/replanting the bigger plants.

Where in central AL?
I got 9 pallets of palisades zoysia from woerner. Shelby sod is cheaper at 195 a pallet but they wouldn't deliver less than 6 pallets, I got mine in 2 deliveries, 5 and 4.
