I live south of Columbus, Georgia. I have tried unsucessfully to grow centipede sod on my shady lot. I have many pecan trees that create this shade. I have heard that Saint Augustine sod would grow in this shade. Is this correct and if so, where is it available in my area?

Palmetto St. Augustine grass (and other s.a. varieties) grow well in the shade. See sodsolutions.com for photo gallery, information and where to buy. I have been buying Bethel Farms plugs at Lowe’s to establish a “grass nursery” for my yard, then cut my own plugs to put in bare spots in the lawn.

St Augustine will do better in the shade than most warm season grasses. Check referenced site for Georgia growers.
