Neighbors would literally buy truckload filled with sand and have it spread across their lawns and they flourished.
Admittedly never heard of Centipede.

Centipede is a slow growing grass that grows by runners.
It's a good Florida grass because is does well in sandy soils and as grasses go, is relatively low maintenance.
It's also pretty much drought tolerant and stays green all year -- a major plus, as far as I'm concerned!
