01 About TifTuf Bermuda

The default answer
for sunny Upstate yards.

If a yard gets full sun and you want a lawn that doesn't need babying, TifTuf is almost always our first recommendation.

TifTuf is a certified hybrid Bermuda developed by the University of Georgia specifically for drought tolerance and water efficiency. It uses around 38% less water than older Bermudas while delivering the same dense, fine-bladed appearance, and it outperforms them in heat, traffic, and recovery.

In practice: it handles kids, dogs, sprinkler restrictions, and a Carolina summer without complaint. We install more TifTuf than every other variety combined because it suits the Upstate climate so well. It does need full sun, though. Shade is its only real weakness.

03 How TifTuf Bermuda gets installed

Same playbook,
every variety.

We don't change the install process based on the sod we're laying. Same prep, same standards, same outcome, whether it's TifTuf, Zeon, Fescue, or anything else in our lineup.

01
Site walk

We confirm TifTuf Bermuda is right for your yard

Before we install anything, we walk the property to confirm sun, soil, and drainage are a fit. If something else would do better, we tell you.

02
Prep work

Old grass out, soil amended, grade corrected

We strip down to bare soil, amend where it's needed, and grade for drainage. This is the part that determines if your sod lasts two years or twenty.

03
Install day

Fresh-cut TifTuf Bermuda, laid the same day

Sod arrives fresh that morning. Tight seams, staggered rows, rolled and compacted for solid soil contact. No sitting on pallets in the sun.

04
Aftercare

Walk-through before we leave

We hand off a watering schedule, first-mow timing, and what to look for during establishment. You'll know exactly what to do for the first 30 days.

04 Other varieties we install
