Turning Weeds to St. Augustine

Dustin
7 years ago

Hi All. We have a North TX lawn here that has been neglected for a while. I will be mowing as soon as it dries up around here. I have never maintained a lawn before so I am trying to educate myself a bit before diving into this project.

Much of the yard has been overrun by weeds. But there are plenty of healthy patches of grass here and there, some even quite large, and my goal is to rid all these weeds and have the St. Augustine fill everything in. I have a few questions to get me started:

  1. Is mid-June an OK (if not ideal) time to take a crack at this, or should I wait?
  2. Should I blast the whole lawn with a broadleaf herbicide to begin with? What from there? Or what should I do instead?
  3. Any guides or resources available to get me up to speed on planning an attack for this endeavor?


Thanks!
