TifTuf is a newer hybrid Bermuda grass that plant breeders developed with drought tolerance and lower water use as the main goals. For Chandler homeowners who still want real grass, it is one of the more water conscious sod choices we lay.
It is still a warm season Bermuda. It wants full sun, it handles foot traffic well, and it goes dormant in the winter unless you overseed. Lower water use does not mean no water, especially during the first weeks after install.

TifTuf is a strong choice anywhere in the East Valley where you want grass in full sun but care about how much you irrigate. These are the lawns we most often recommend it for.
It pairs well with desert landscaping, where a smaller patch of real grass sits next to rock, boulders and low water plants. Keeping the lawn to the spaces people actually use is one of the easiest ways to cut water use.
A right sized lawn set among palms, shrubs and desert plants.
A sunny patch of grass along the back wall for kids and pets.
We install both, so we can lay out the tradeoffs honestly and help you pick what fits your yard.
On the visit we measure the lawn and ask how you use it. A lawn that only needs to cover the play area and the dog path can be smaller, which saves water no matter which grass you choose.
We also run the sprinklers and look for overspray onto walls and walks, mismatched heads and dry corners. Fixing those is a big part of getting the most out of a drought tolerant grass.
Drought tolerance depends on roots, and roots need loose soil to grow deep. We break up compacted ground and caliche so TifTuf can root down instead of staying shallow.
The steps are the same for a small Tempe front yard or a large Queen Creek backyard. New sod still needs frequent watering at first, and we show you how to taper it back as the roots take hold.
Lawn size, sun, soil and sprinklers.
Existing cover and weeds hauled off.
Loosen, grade and smooth the bed.
Tight rows, clean cuts at the edges.
Deep first soak, then a taper plan.
The sprinkler system decides how much water any lawn really uses. We replace broken heads and adjust spray so the TifTuf gets what it needs without soaking the patio.
Beds around the lawn are a good place for drip irrigation, decorative rock and desert plants. Paired with a water wise grass, that keeps the yard green where it counts and lean everywhere else.
We price TifTuf sod after we see the yard, since the prep changes from lot to lot. These four things carry the most weight.
A lawn that shrinks to make room for desert plants may need less sod but more bed work. Your written quote shows each part so you can compare options side by side.

It was bred for drought tolerance and lower water use, and it generally holds up better in dry spells than older Bermudas. How much you save depends on your sprinklers, soil and watering habits.
Yes. It is drought tolerant, not a desert plant, so it still needs regular irrigation through a Chandler summer. The goal is deeper, less frequent watering once the roots are down.
No. It is a Bermuda, so it goes dormant and tan in cold weather. You can overseed with ryegrass in the fall for winter color, though that adds water use in the cool months.
It needs full sun like other Bermudas and will thin out in heavy shade. For shaded parts of a yard, Palmetto St. Augustine is the better match.
It is wear tolerant and recovers well from pets and play once established. Give new sod a few weeks to root before letting dogs back on it.
It can be. Many East Valley HOAs expect a green front lawn, and TifTuf lets you meet that with a grass bred to use less water. Check your HOA landscape rules for any approved plant list.
We lay TifTuf sod in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley, front yards and back.
Water use is a real concern across Maricopa County, and many newer East Valley neighborhoods have smaller yards with a mix of grass and desert landscaping. TifTuf fits that style well.
We install four sod varieties most often in the East Valley, and TifTuf is the one we point to when water use is the top concern.
Tifway 419 and Midiron are Bermudas too, so they share TifTuf’s need for sun and its winter dormancy. Palmetto St. Augustine handles shade but drinks more water, which makes it the opposite tradeoff.
CGL Landscaping is a family business in Chandler, and our own crew handles the TifTuf install from the first shovel of soil to the last seam.
