I have a small piece of yard that is fenced in at my apartment complex. It has been sodded with the beautiful St. Augustine grass known as Stenotaphrum secundatum. It is a warm season grass that is popular to use for lawns, and it occurs in the tropics as well as the southern eastern United States, Texas, and Mexico. St. Augustine can grow in a wide range of soil types. It does not have a high level of drought tolerance, but it is moderately shade tolerant.
