About Centipede Grass

Centipede grass is known for growing into a healthy, dense lawn with a stunning light to medium green color and fine to medium texture. Due to its low maintenance requirements, it is the perfect solution for enjoying your yard with minimal effort.

As a warm-season grass, Centipede grass has exceptional heat tolerance and grows most actively in warmer seasons, from late spring through early summer. It spreads through creeping, above-ground stems called stolons, gradually forming a lush, thick green cover.

• Excellent heat tolerance

• Low-maintenance grass

• Less frequent mowing requirements

Grass Characteristics

Grass Plug Coverage

Each SodPods® grass plug is approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. A 16-pack grass plug tray can cover up to 32 square feet when spaced 18 inches apart. For faster coverage, reduce the spacing between plugs.

How to Plant Centipede Grass Plugs

SodPods® make planting grass plugs easy and convenient. Follow these simple steps:

1. Dig Holes: Use a shovel or the SodPods® Power Planter grass plug planting tool to dig holes for the plugs, spacing them 6-18 inches apart.

2. Insert Plugs: Insert a grass plug into each hole and press firmly into the soil. Ensure the plugs are upright, with the grass blades level with the ground.

3. Water: Water frequently for the first two weeks after installation to keep the soil moist several inches deep. Adjust the frequency as needed based on weather conditions. Once new growth appears, reduce watering to 1-2 times weekly.

For best results, we recommend using NutriPod®—a specialized lawn fertilizer designed for SodPods® to help the grass plugs grow up to two times faster. Apply NutriPod® to the soil by dropping one pod into each planting hole before inserting the grass plugs. This provides essential nutrients for the plugs, ensuring healthy and robust grass growth.

Determine the number of grass plugs you need by measuring the area you plan to cover and calculate the square footage.
