If I go more than 4 days without mowing my centipede it explodes but I also take care of it
Using PGR for the first time this season was definitely clutch with how much rain we have gotten in NC.
I also mow at an inch or lower

Yes, I am serious.
Lots of weeds in the sod.

Sod directly from Woerner Turf will have the same amount of weeds (minimal) as sod pieces from the nearby Lowe’s who is supplied by, you guessed it, Woerner’s.
I’m not sure about Home Depot in BR area, but I imagine they get it from their nearby sod company as well.
Where do you get your sod pieces from? Because most sod farms or sellers will not sell less than a pallet.

My landscaper. No weeds....
Here in Magnolia, the local Master Gatdeners say to stay away from the big bilix stores for your sod.

Centipede is nasty grass. It doesn't work up where I live. Very limited roots.

It’s no Bermuda, but it can make for a nice lawn if cared for.

I have centipede but in a few spots I've filled with St. Aug sod from my local home depot because it's easy to buy a few pieces. The St. Aug seems to do really well, I almost wish I would've just started with that instead of the centipede.

We haven’t had the rain on the Northshore this year. Centipede has failed the worst. It runs and spreads really well and honestly looks great when it has water, but it will straight up shrivel up and die in a couple weeks without solid rain every 4-5 days.
The st aug I have in the shadiest area (at least 1ksqft) actually looks good, but it struggles just the same with heat, drought, and I’m afraid to use any pesticides on it. The part of that yard that gets the most sun and the drip line of the large trees looks like crap, main issue being compaction. It’s been a long road for my property overall and looks better every year, I can see the st. aug is trying to run this year but it is having issues tacking down. So I’m struggling to decide what to do. It’s closest to the street, most visible and where the kids play. Don’t know whether I should just let it do its thing or bring in replacements.
I started sprigging and sodding zoysia in the back and areas closest to the house late last summer into the fall, and it seems to be thriving. Seems to deal with heat and drought much better than the others.
And of course I’ve got some Bermuda areas, its performance is just ok, not as aggressive as I would think it would be, and weeds are highly noticeable in Bermuda. To me the zoysia is the clear winner, it is just the most time consuming and expensive option because I have to import it. But I do feel a bit more confident with how it has run this year, it starts slow but it’s a beast once it gets moving.
