Raleigh St. Augustine Grass
The #1 Cold-Tolerant St. Augustine Sod in Texas
About Raleigh St. Augustine Grass
Raleigh is a vigorous, medium green, medium textured lawn grass and one of the most popular residential sod varieties in Texas. Raleigh St. Augustine was specifically selected for resistance to St. Augustine Decline (SAD) disease and is significantly more cold tolerant than the SAD-resistant Floratam variety.
Raleigh is presently the highest ranking cold tolerant, SAD-free St. Augustine grass available in Texas — making it the top choice for homeowners who want a lush, green yard that can handle Texas winters without dying back severely.
