I don't completely know what happened to kill 1/4th of of my fairly nice yard (Bermuda Yard). I'm paralyzed and I normally run around on my zero turn spraying my yard. I let a friends kid do it and he didn't walk fast enough. He sprayed about 4 times the rate and it wiped my yard out. It's literally 80% dirt now. I used Prodiamine, red label image for POA Annua, so I'm scared 😱. I went from loudly saying walk faster to yelling walk faster and he wouldn't listen. Any valid ideas ideas and not ideas from those who just talk trash. Thanks in advance.

Thirty years ago I got my newly sodded St Augustine looking amazing. Then June came and the grub worms ate the roots across the entire lawn. So I litteraly rolled that dead lawn up like an area rug. Disposed of it, then spread durasban across the lawn to wipe out those well fed grubbs. BTW, grubs are June Bug nymphs. Then I had new sod layed down and purchased a lawncare book. That book was an amazing resource. I have been awarded yard of the month many times over the past 30 years. Durasban (Chlorpyrifos ethy) used to be the golden ticket insecticide. Dursban was banned by the EPA around 2000-2001 because of concerns for the health of humans and wildlife. It even killed mosquitos, which are a problem on the gulf coast.

How’s it look now?

Lawn Care is a MINDSET!!!!!!!!

I bought a new home in CA with an existing THICK st Augustine lawn. It is dark dark green and has done really well with zero irrigation. Just rainfall. It’s been green all year long. Never had any experience with this grass type but it seems much lower maintenance than everything else I see on KZread.

Thanks for the update let’s Go Jacksonville Florida checking in

Watching lawn care nut transformed my lawn.

Brilliant. Thank you for such great info and well put together videos.

“All y’all from New York and New Jersey that are retiring now down here…” lmfao! Sounds like me here in CHS…😂

Just moved from RI to central FL and I miss my perennial rye grass 😢. Hoping to come to love my new St Augustine just as much 😊

I have a bit of St Augustine grass in my front yard. I live in North Georgia and it’s a pain to maintain. Thanks for the tips!😊

@Thelawncarenut , I appreciate your content, I have learned a great amount of information from you the past couple of years. Keep it real and don’t let $ stand in the way making others lawns on point. Not that you are. Just feels like KZread is filled with people only focused on the $ vs. producing accurate content.

asserting dominance via lawn care.

I started watching ur videos around the beginning of the pandemic. After about 2 years, I’ve got the yard dialed in and the neighbors on notice!!!

Allen, your the man.

I sprinkle a single fistful of good homemade compost on any trouble spots (no matter what the trouble is) every time i cut. I dont kill clovers. I cut on the highest or second highest setting, and leave the clippings in the yard. I have the best lawn in my hood

That is the way to do it in Central Florida because when you have 4 inches of grass or more above it reduces the need for watering by half and cutting at 4 in if you have a thick healthy lush St Augustine lawn it will suppress the weeds as long as you keep it healthy and thriving

I'm glad you mentioned brown spots could be from nearby shrubs and trees that compete for water. I wonder if my shrubs and pine tree are hogging the water that contributes to problems in part of my lawn.

Watching this as I'm pulling up my St Augustine and replacing it with Empire Zoysia plugs.

Jacksonville checking in.

Quick question, I get spots that sink slowly over time around my home, amid the fast spread of weeds that blow in with our NWFL storms...I'm about to go in with a friend on some full dirt before long and wanted your opinion on filling it in; subsequently, I will need to grow grass. Suggestions/advice? I have a large palm to deal with and new gutter system to attend to as well, but they main yard itself tends to sink little divots that in a couple seasons become bigger and broader spread, which I have backfilled before then another spot nearby does it. I'm about 5 mi from the beachfront and sitting on about 25 ft or so of dirt before the aquifer so I imagine this a factor. Sprinkler system is also being repaired soon so I can automatically water. Thanks in advance!

Digging the green screen effect on your shirt

Second app of Pennant Magnum today, flagship and a grub/insecticide next weekend. What happened to greenphite? Soil test says I’m K deficient in Tampa, FL and was looking forward to spraying that throughout the summer. Probably gonna have to mix in some stress blend. Thoughts or suggestions?

I'm south... southern hemisphere. Cherry tree is busy dropping leaves, but that means i can mow to break up the leaves. St Aug out the back, did my first top dress this season, bit of work due to access, but those areas look thicker and greener than all the areas i didn't top dress. Finally sat down and converted lb per 1,000sqft to metric as i have no idea how big 1,000sqft is. It's just under 100sqm, exactly my front lawn. I kept it going till xmas when i had surgery then just kept it alive. Here's 🍻 to my next season.

Love your content bro, here in south Texas we are getting 👌 thick grass, just like we like it. 👍

How far north in the transition zone can you go with St. Aug. My brother in law has a small section in his yard that comes back every year here in Decatur AL (Huntsville area). I grew up in Jacksonville, FL and I wish I had the balls to get rid of my fescue in my shaded yard and go with St. Aug.

Dallas grass, Johnson grass and most of all crab grass are the hardest weeds to control. The back breaking job of pulling them out is the hardest work. A garden weasel or shovel are instrumental in getting the whole plant out.

Hi Lawn Care Nut, I just got a house with a very thin lawn. It’s spring. So do I get it aerated now in spring? Or do I still wait for Fall. Thanks Dave

Great video. Are you familiar with Cobalt hybrid St Augustine? I’m interested in this relatively new grass for my south texas summers. Can’t find any testimonies on it yet though.

Love the videos. Where can I buy just centipede grass seed? I'm in the Florida panhandle.

Hi Allan, maybe you could perhaps help me in making a decision. I am wanting to sod my backyard. I do have dogs. It will be a high traffic area in that regard . I absolutely love the way Saint Augustine looks and I want to use this to sod my yard if I can? I'm from Alabama Yard is mostly sunny, however I do have one shade tree. Is this still a good choice to sod my yard with St. Augustine or should I go with a type of Bermuda instead in your opinion. Thanks for what you do. I appreciate it.

G'day Allyn how often to you mow your lawn year round? I have sir Walter buffalo which you guys call st Augustine.I live in qld Australia which be similar weather to florida

Will top dressing help to jump start growth in St. Augustine? A few weeks ago, I put down fertilizer. Will repeat at the 8 week mark. I’m in zone 10a with very sandy soil. I have a few large areas/patches where it’s bare sand likely cause the irrigation doesn’t get everywhere due to some berms with a tall croton plant in the middle of the yard. I’m now watering those areas with an oscillating sprinkler three times a week. Should I top dress the bare areas?

I just got my st aug installed today want to know how soon I can put some starter fertilizer down

I can definitely attest to what Allyn is saying about disease. I had some yellow patch in the yard. I applied a bit of fungicide to it and didn't seem to be working. Then I put my normal fert app down and 6 days later the yellow patch is almost all gone.

I recently did an experiment by cutting the long stolons that have rooted from the crown. If you apply fertilizer and water for the next few weeks it will establish independently and spread faster instead of having to get most of its nutrients from a distant crown. I'm not sure if this method is widely known. It forces the stolons to create a deeper root system completely independent from the original crown.

Great tips. To me, if healthy, no lawn turf looks better than St. Augustine. I live on the Gulf Coast and had trouble with grubs last season. For my area, what month should I begin putting down insecticides to get in front of grubs?

How do you prevent clover mites from coming out with really high N put down so often?

Hey allyn. I’m really trying to get my st Augustine yard in order. I need to kill off some weeds but atrazine can’t be sold in California. Is there an alternative you recommend? Thank you in advance!

Hey bud, love your channel, Iam having a new weed pop up in my yard that Ive never seen before (Ive lived here 54 years here in florida). no one seems to know what it is , Ive tried so many weed killers and nothing touches it. its a tough texture , hard to break or even pull out a ground almost like a tree like bark type ( dont know if iam describing it right} Is it possible I can send your a picture to see if you know what it is? also is it just nitrogen your putting down every 5 weeks or a fertilizer/ nitrogen mix every 5 weeks? thanks in advance

Hey LCN, I have Kentucky bluegrass and I live in Missouri. We had soil brought in by the truck loads to level out our backyard. Now, I'm overwhelmed with wild strawberries and wild violets, as well as clover. I mean THE WHOLE BACK LAWN, almost. I sprayed Tenacity 2 days ago (window of no rain). What is a good name of herbicide that will eradicate the strawberries and violets? Please help! I'm new to this since retirement. XOXO'S Thank you!

Is a lawn roller a good option for striping the lawn?

I have a tone of straw looking blades in the lawn. It was new sod from ne construction home purchased in April of 2022. I put down Scotts southern weed and feed bonus S two weeks ago and the grass got a little thicker and greener but the straw looking grass is still there. How do I fix this? Is the Scotts still working slowly or is there something else I should put down?

Hey man, I’ve got a pretty healthy St Augustine lawn here in Houston Texas but I’ve got weeds sprinkled in. I read your weed control but it’s all about dandelions. I don’t have dandelions. I’m looking for a week control / killer that I can spray on the entire lawn to keep everything except the st Augustine away and not damage the st Augustine. Does this exist or do I have to spot treat, again very healthy existing st Augustine lawn

This is excatly what i was looking for. That disease looks just like the one in my lawn.

I wish you uploaded everyday all day bruh!!! Over by dare!

I had a house built and St Augustine sod laid and a sprinkler system installed. Now my St Augustine keeps weaving more and more. Now the sprinkler heads are sitting so far under the lawn the heads are not rising enough to water properly. Am I letting the lawn base (stolons) get too high or do I just need to keep getting higher sprinkler heads?

Each of the granular fertilizer from Yard Mastery has iron derived from iron oxide, except for Freedom. I am of the understanding that iron oxide is completely unavailable for plant uptake, so why not use the EDTA iron that is in Freedom? When I am buying anything other than Freedom, is my lawn (of a pH higher than 6) even getting any iron with an application?

Summer 2023 murdered my St Augustine lawn. 110 heat every day all summer long

IN LOUISIANA with St.Aug. temps in high 90degrees can I fertilize with nitrogennow and Iron also?

What HOC do you recommend this time of year ?

So Alan. Do you put the Green punch down at what oz per 1000sq ft? Monthly?

I'm gonna try my luck with propagating a plug

I live in Virginia, should I dethatch the dead St Augustin in the spring from being dormant?

Amazing content. Your videos have helped me better understand my grass. Question; do you ever apply topsoil to your st Augustine? I’ve read online if you do, use sand instead of soil. I didn’t see any of your videos address that.

@Thelawncarenut

I've never found a need to top dress. If you have areas you need to level out that are bumpy, then sand is what you use for sure.

We use Humichar and Maliogranite.

Thanks for the Texas shout-out. Texas is in a slight to extreme drought - big state - extreme is central Texas. But, Allyn, I think it's something beyond that. My St. Aug. used to grow insanely. I could easily mow 3 times a week 3-4 months out of the year - and that is with limited feeding and watering. I don't know - but it's something.

Downside of putting all the fertilizers on your lawn is that they inevitably end up in the gulf. Red tide, less clarity with each year, is it worth it?
