Bahia grass has the lowest maintenance; it grows well with very little water and fertilization. Bahia is the only option for sites with no irrigation. Bahia is pasture grass and grows on its own, however, it can have ants, weeds, and appear brown and hay-like.

Empire Zoysia is another semi-low maintenance grass when compared to St. Augustine. It does however require irrigation and treatment to keep it maintained.
