I live just North of San Antonio and I am trying to decide between sodding Bermuda Tiff or El Toro Zoysia. My lawn does have trees, but the sod will be layed in mostly open areas. However, once the trees get bigger, I can see certain areas being under heavy shade. Does anyone have any recommendations or prior experiences in this area? Thanks in advance.

Go with Zoysia, it is more shade tolerant. In the future when the trees get bigger just landscape around the trees.Meaning cut the grass around the trees and put down some mulch. Bermuda will not tolerate shade.

I live near Corpus Christi, just wondering why you didn’t consider a St. Augustine grass? Tif Bermuda and Floratam are the best choices down here.
