Water your lawn. Fertilize every 3-4 months. Make sure to put fungicide/Insecticide if you have brownish yellowish spots on your lawn. Make sure to put w**d killer on your lawn as well. Mow your yard on a set schedule. Don't put just any fertilizer, w**d killer, fungicide or Insecticide on your lawn till you identify the type of grass you have! There are many types of St Augustine grasses. Floratam is a St Augustine but its own class. Before using a chemical that says wotks on St Augustine, make sure it works on Floratam. Most do not! There a couple of types of Bermuda grasses as well. Be extremely careful what you put on your lawn. I had to resod a customers lawn because he used something not for his lawn. At A&J Sanchez Lawn Service, we know how to treat your lawn. We are a landscaping business. Water alone will not help your lawn. Over watering will also damage it. Make sure sure to pick or shred those leaves in your yard because leaves can damage your lawn as well. There is so much to learn about lawn care. Plants require a lot of care as well. We know how to take care of them. We can give you advice on whatever you need but its your job to listen. The City of Portland will not pay for your lawn to get resoded. Sod, dirt work, sod installations, sod care all cost thousands of dollars! Its cheaper to water and put the chemicals your lawn needs. Two years again, a customer paid someone 6k to resod her small back yard. Inflation has definitely gone up, so please listen to my advice or you will definitely pay thousands! Most companies use Floratam without telling you. So be careful and ask what they are installing!
This scotts fertilizer says its for St Augustine, notice it says not for Floratam. So read the instructions and make sure you know what type of grass you have before using!!!
