According to the landscape guy he mixes soil and fertilizer with St. Augustine seed. My understanding is that Floratam is a hybrid of St. Augustine grass. I read that St. Augustine grass is hard to proliferate and why people go with the hybrid sod (Floratam), thus the plugs. Now I am wondering how effective the landscapers attempt will be with seed.
