St. Augustine Sod turning brown after 3 days
Comments (1)There could be several things going on. St Augustine needs to be applied as soon after it is cut as possible. It can dry out or get a fungal disease when left on the pallet too long. Second, did you roll the sod down when it was laid? You need to have good sod-to-soil contact for the roots. They cannot grow though the air. As an alternative to rolling you can walk on it. What do you mean by watering appropriately? Does that mean 3-4x per day for about 10 minutes each?...See MoreBrown/Yellow spots in St Augustine Lawm
Comments (1)That is clearly a fungus. How hot was it when you applies the spray? If you read the label it will give you an idea if you sprayed when it was too warm. How often do you water and for how long? Do you know how long it takes to fill a small cat food or tuna can with your sprinklers?...See MoreLawn story short: St Augustine turning yellow

Comments (3)It is my understanding that Zoysia is a type of bermuda which is why we voted against it for our back yard which is mostly full sun. I hate hate hate pulling bermuda out of flower beds but pulling St. Augustine is much much easier. Right now our yard is a mix of both until the St. Augustine is done over coming the bermuda. Brown is brown, its the same to me. The grass is dormant, that is what it does, it dies back and isn't green anymore. Our St. Augustine is greener now than the bermuda -- It stays green longer in the fall than bermuda. Bermuda doesn't really green up and grow until it gets much hotter. And it does tend to go a little dormant again long about Aug to mid Sept unless you keep it watered really well. (perhaps its the same for the others? I never really noticed because we keep our lawn watered) I don't think the Zoysia up the street is nearly as lush and green as our bermuda in the front yard --right now. However.. in my opinion a dormant lawn of Zoysia or bermuda does look nicer than a dormant lawn of St Augustine. But that wasn't one of my considerations when choosing which grass to go with....See Moredchall_san_antonio
