Not everyone has the time—or desire—to spend hours maintaining their lawn. Luckily, some sod varieties thrive in Texas with minimal upkeep, making them perfect for busy homeowners who still want a lush, green yard.

At Texas Sod Pros, we specialize in recommending grass types that fit your lifestyle. Here are some of the best low-maintenance sod options for Texas homes.

🌱 Bermuda Grass

Perfect for: Families with kids and pets, or anyone who needs a tough lawn that can take foot traffic without constant care.

🌿 Zoysia Grass

Why it’s low-maintenance:

• Dense growth naturally chokes out weeds
• Requires less frequent mowing than Bermuda
• Tolerates both sun and partial shade

🌳 Buffalo Grass

Why it’s low-maintenance:
