Re: still ok to lay St. A sod in east texas?
Should be okay. I laid my Zoysia sod in my front yard in late October and had no issues with it. However, depending on which cultivar of St A you choose, the cold tolerance is not as high as my Zoysia so I guess that could affect it if the roots don't establish deep enough prior to freezing temps. Also, any grass planted in the shade will establish less quickly which could also affect you. I would say that if you are putting it in now (or at least in the next two weeks) and you hit it with some good starter fert and plenty of water you should be fine.
