Seville or Palmetto

Florida Chris – posted 24 October 2001 12:53

I have a Seville lawn that has suffered some chinch bug damage in a couple of spots over the summer. I am having difficulty finding a sod contractor that stocks Seville sod or who is willing to order in two pallet quantities.

Palmetto is readily available and I am considering patching my chinch bug damaged areas with Palmetto.

Is this smart? Will the lawn look OK? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Oh, forgot…I live in Palm Beach County, FL.

Thanks.

Chris, Palmetto and Seville are similar enough in things that are obvious (height and color), that I do not think the casual observer would notice.

Look in the phone book for a Pursley Dealer near you. Pursley cuts it the day its delivered. Do not go to Turfgrass America, They deliver rotten sod. Take it from an unsatified customer who wasted 400.00 on old sod. I know of one location. Palmetto,FL
