Dickerson Landscaping

We are recognized for our commitment to enhancing the balance between humanity and nature. I *love* my new yard design. Dickerson Landscaping did a great job from start to finish. And this was a tough one, too. I am not wealthy, so I knew I'd have to plan for stages of work to be done. Well, they came through on every count: a totally creative and wonderful design, that is easy-care and, looks *great* year-round.

Bahia grass (Paspalum notatum Flugge) was introduced from Brazil in 1914. It was originally used as a pasture grass on the sandy soils of the southeastern United States. Additional varieties have been introduced since that time for use as lawn-grasses. Bahia grass is a popular low-maintenance lawn-grass for infertile soils.
