The way you worded your post allowed me to easily misconstrue what you were saying. And I never said that you'll often find an entire yard of grass under a dense canopy of trees. I used to live in Atlanta, thank you.

Whoop de do I lived in Atlanta too...Actually grew up a good part of my early childhood in Atlanta...Obviously I got some roots somewhere in the Peach State. Hell I am not claming to be an expert or nothing but I just simply pointed out some interesting geographic future's I notice that where different about the regions. You decided to come critique my statement.

You see faaar more St. Augustine in East Texas than you do North Texas.

Its mainly a tropical type grass popular in the Southeastern US from Eastern Texas to the Carolinas.

I know just about every lawn on my street has St. Augustine.

St. Augustine grass can grow in most regions of Texas...Nothing spectacular about what you posted. You ever been to Forest Hill, Texas or East Fort Worth specifically the Meadowbrook/Handley area much of the properties in those areas have St. Augustine grass...Most of the older more mature homes have St. Augustine grass in DFW. Trae713 lives in South Arlington. A lot of the homes out there have St. Augustine grass. The newer homes and development have Bermuda grass because number 1 it’s much cheaper than St. Augustine grass ....My mom neighbor planted St. Augustine grass and it has made it over into her yard. Within the next 5 years the whole yard will be covered with St. Augustine grass. And my mother didn't have to pay a dime for it. Besides FL got Texas beat in that department. They have St. Augustine grass everywhere including the freeways. But considering East Texas isn't growing nearly as fast as North Texas I guess you guys would have more St. Augustine grass per capita.

Like I said, the way you worded your post made it seem like you were saying something else. Your bad.

Yeah, grass is just grass. I can take it or leave it, honestly.

I think kdogg was talking about Upper East Texas, not Houston.

I don't think growth is all that much to brag about nowadays. All it means is more traffic and more sprawl.

Not arguing... just correcting your false information. Plus you made it sound like Houston wasn't even close in the growth rate of Dallas... come to find out that Houston is actually barely growing faster than the Dallas/FW metro.

You very well could be correct...but he framed the statement to possibly infer the Houston area.

And, just correcting a incorrect assertion and I agree with the more traffic and more sprawl.
