With my “aggressive runners” that float over top of all the others I cut them off and transplant them to areas where I am combating an evasive weed, bare spots, or rough soil conditions. They seem to take root better, knock out the weeds faster and build patches that are thicker and denser than where they cane from in the first place. It has worked really well for me so far. They seem to already be used to the soil conditions so they make it a home easily, they are already in the “rapid recovery mode” so they send out more shoots and roots. I plant them in straight line rows a couple inches apart. With survey flags mapping the area so I don’t mow that section for a couple weeks for better rooting. Then I will mow that section only every two days or three depending on weather. It has worked wonderfully for me.
You are way more advanced than we are we call them runners. I collected over one hundred of them and gave them to my neighbor. He chucked them in the yard dumped a bag of potting soil over them had his boy to water them every evening. Everyone of them things took . Three years later after doing this dozens of times his entire yard is as good as mine.
You are 100 percent correct. My father was a master at mowing the lawn. He had the best lawn in the neighborhood. When i bought my house it was covered in weeds. His advice was throw some squate if san Agustin sod and mow then water...mow mow mow mow like you never mowed before. My lawn cleard up and san Agustin spread through out the yard. He also bagged like crazy.
YES the rain in Houston, Texas was NO JOKE my St Augustine grass got dollar spot/grey leaf spot from being so wet, but I treated it and it has grown out now. I pick up my clippings because I planted my rye grass so thick its still dying off at the moment! I LOVE MY GRASS! I just cut my grass using my new reel mower on my channel man its a WORK OUT but I love the clean cut it gives! This is my first house and first lawn! Great info!
My Dad's house in San Jose had St. Augustine lawn. When I moved to Sacramento he gave me a bag of stolens that I planted at that house and they grew up beautifully(I hope the new owners appreciate it) in the front yard.... the larger back yard was much more of a challenge, but it was growing! Now I'm in a new house and need to get my hands on some stolens to see if I can get it to grow here in a MUCH smaller area. Lots of area, just a smaller lawn section.
Thank you!! I'm in Corpus Christi, TX. We have had alot of rain. It's always terribly humid here also, being we are on the southern coast, we fight fungus all year long. I'm so happy my son in law turned me on to your channel!
I just moved to Manatee County Florida from Pennsylvania, and your videos have been VERY helpful for taking care of my St Aug. lawn. This turf is nothing like the grass up in the frozen north.
I have St Aug in DFW. Nursed it after the snowpocalypse and now getting comments from my neighbors and friends that my grass is looking great 👊 Did the bulletproof strategy and surviving all the rain we've been getting. I cut once wet and really ripped up the blades, so recovering from that. Thanks for all the tips... Keep em coming!
Allen- Proud to say I am a part of the Domination Nation thanks your videos!!!! What Texas freeze!! May your Stolons be with you my friends and Mow ON!! Rehab is real!!!!
That’s an amazing lawn, makes me jealous because here in Los Angeles County and the rest of the state we’re in a severe drought so I can barely keep my St Augustine alive. Plus having a green lawn is a tell tale sign to the neighborhood that you are not being a good citizen. 😞
I am in Socal. First time homeowner. Trying to get my front yard healthy again, and I just tore up my backyard to start from scratch. Dirt at my house is super compacted. I couldn't even get an Augur down into it in order to plant St. A Patches. I had to rent a tiller and get this dirt turned over. Added some soil conditioner and tried lying out some patches. All the patches are have some form of shade are doing great. The other ones are struggling because it's just too hot out here. I just picked up some Stress blend, and the freedom bundle with the liquid stuff you got in there. I also added the Ironite, and then some of the Turf builder a few weeks later. It's helping but I still have insanely yellow patches in my front yard. I need help! ha
How do We know what grass is in sprayed in grass in Pearland? The grass used to be on rice fields. Weeds are all over the place of 100 x 50? It may be small blade grass help!! How to get rid of weeds and what kind of grass is it?
This season is the first season that I’ve seen my st Augustine lawn throw up Seed Heads. And I’ve noticed after a year of learning this tips, changed my fertilizer to organic and trying the Next Soil activation pack. In fact I’ve noticed that parts of my back yard was mostly weeds sand and crabgrass, so much that my surviving St Augustine was starting retake some ground and thriving after using the Soil Activation pack. Even though my backyard has a long way to go my entire lawn hasn’t looked as good as it did years ago. Thank you Allen and the lawn care community for all tips. I couldn’t have success like this without them.
Good advice, I'm in Central FL and we've had .3 inches of rain since April in my location with 95 degree temps daily...the St Aug is trying to check out daily, especially on mostly sunny days. Most challenging year I've ever had in the lawn.
Ugh ... Fert ban and reclaimed water restrictions up here in Pinellas County. NO RAIN! Just have to water when it's lawful! Lawns are looking good though because we've followed your advice and stayed ahead of it. Thanks Bud!
WOW! Again you are right on time talking about topics I'm going through with my St. Aug here in Miami...loopers, ruff cuts and those spots.........THANKS LCN!!!
The only 2 grasses i dearly love is ? St. Augustine and Centipede Grass, and i mix them 👍 There both Freeze, dough, disease, resistant and don't need fertilizer either. IT don't get over 10" tall > I mow only once a month, while every one else is mowing 2 times a week. Trying to look as nice as my yard. I'am saving on gas, wear at tear, saving on water, wearing my self out. They both do good in shade or full sun either one ! There is a slight different! Centipede grows shorter and a little lighter green, while St. Augustine is a darker green, and grows a little bit taller. > BEST GRASSES EVER 👍
I love to skip out on work just to work out, cut my lawn, smoke pot, and play call of duty. In that order but then my wife comes home at 5pm and party is over 😢
I live on St. Petersburg. The drought within the last 2 years has been hell. Water restrictions on top of that. Can't do everything your video recommends. 😪
Different grass types are always fascinating to me with respect to where in the country they thrive. I'm in the transition zone and tall fescue is highly desirable here. I recently saw a video on how to get rid of tall fescue and I thought "why would anyone want to get rid of fescue?" I'm looking at the videos that highlight St Augustine grass and can't help but notice that it resembles a grassy weed to me. I realize that certain grass types are more favorable to certain areas with specific climates and soil conditions but It's almost hard to believe that anyone would actually want a lawn full of Saint Augustine grass.
That’s a fair thought. I like it because how thick the blades are. And very easy to understand what it’s feeling. Blades curling? Water more. Blades not very green? Root or food problem. And good luck weeds getting sun in it. Also feels really nice bare foot. Like great waxy stout feeling
After coming down with a fungal infection in my skin and all of my lawns suffering as of late, my own lawn included,bI think fungicide is exactly what I've been. needing to do
Fellow Florida resident here.....absolute drought over here. My St Augustine is taking a beating and browned out pretty bad. Unfortunately the cost for running my irrigation more than 3 days is a car payment. Ive had to call Massey out to try to get this under control while I try to learn through this channel.
Fire Massey and just watch Allen. Your St. Aug and your wallet will love you for it. Check into a product called Hydretain. I think there is even a review on this channel.
@@lawn2learn I just moved into a new development. We are supposed to have reclaim water for irrigation. It’s not set up and according to the city may not be for the next 2 years or more until they build more houses and fill them up. So I’m watering my lawn with potable water by no choice of my own, I’m considered outside the city limits so both those things put me into a higher price for water. I’m required to water my lawn but punished for doing so. Plus it’s new sod and needed a good water in at the beginning.
@@StayInTheWord I’ve seen the product mentioned on this channel. Like I said before, I’m still learning. For right now I need someone who can come in and identify my issues and address them until I can get on my feet with lawn care knowledge so to speak. It’s a lot of info all at once. I’ve tried to ask question on here and the forums but typically just get ignored, so I appreciate the reply!
I have quite a few stolons in my backyard St. Augustine grass here in southeast Louisiana. I to have never used pre-emergent. The indeed are close to the sidewalk along the back of my house. I found one in the front yard next to the driveway.
Here in Se Michigan the other day well... we got a taste of Florida weather i'll tell ya it was hot humid and at around 4pm the sky just let loose and it poured and hailed and windy the whole nine yards. After 20-30min of relentless pouring rain, we had gotten 2in of rain and everything was flooded. Most rain I've ever seen in such a short amount of time, was some much needed rain though
I have used Scott’s EX, and the Bio on my lawn. I think you need to change up fungicides same as I would change sanitizer in a food production facility. Just my thoughts.
This video came at exactly the right time. Just yesterday I was noticing seed heads all over the place during my Wednesday mow. I thought it might be frayed tips or some kind of fungus, but no it definitely was seed heads. Our seed heads are pretty ugly, lol. After weeks of rain here in SE Texas, it has been dry for a couple of days so I'm assuming the lawn was rain drunk. Thanks for sharing the new fungicide option. We need as many options as possible with our thick, green blades so susceptible to fungus. Also, I would love to see a video on the difference between fertilizing and watering shaded St. Aug vs full sun St. Aug like yours. I have read Texas A&M's recommendations to fertilize at half the rate of a full sun St. Aug lawn. Watering also is cut in half. This is so important for us in Texas as our front yards are typically shaded with two oak trees and we might be throwing down wrong.
If I am reading correctly, one good thing to clarify for folks is the label says to apply 4-6 oz per 1000 for most diseases, HOWEVER, in the box above, it says Max Application Rate at one time for Residential is 2 oz per 1000
I was thinking the same but after just applying 4 oz per 1000 I read the instructions again and for home and residential it says 2 oz per 1000 hope my st Augustine grass will be fine.
Hello, I am writing to you about Italy, I have a st. Agustine, unfortunately I don't understand English and I'm sorry I don't understand your videos😔. You are a great professional, you have a wonderful lawn, it looks like the lawn of paradise. I want to ask you the ideal height of the st.augustine
I have definitely noticed the seed heads with all the rain in North Texas. I have enjoyed all the free water going in to late Spring though! This is definitely not a year in our area to skip the bulletproof fungicide app strategy.
You must be in Florida. In California we haven't had much rain and the St. Augustine is doing better than the other grass species but it is also struggling.
North Dallas here and got patches of grey leaf spot starting to spread. Propiconazole, 3336 and disease ex thrown down today, and hoping for the best! Also have Thiomyl and Captan as other back-up fungicides, but haven’t used them yet. Thiomyl may just be the the 2nd cheapest treatment after Propiconazole which runs me $1.25 per 1k when bought by the gallon ($80).
Wow that st augustine seed looks so much like Nigrospora stolen rot. I was just freaking out because I thought I had Nigrospora stolen rot. I will observe the lawn carefully over the next week or two.
Allyn!!!! LMFAO. 🤣🤣🤣I have the same mower. Only 25 on the market that's electric and gets it done everytime for me 😁. The 2 circles on the side is what you have to press in to adjust whatever length you need on the bar height ... only nut like you would do it that way!!!. Stay safe brother. . Btw thanks for the new sticker with my hydertain order 👍
Last Year I had a terrible year on my fresh new sod in my backyard. It was terrible. Had great new sod laid in march. Had to water a lot. That cause a fungus in late June. So I tried to fix it with fungicide. After that started fixing it I had infestation of army worms. Never heard of those. Man they were everywhere. Grass is finally trying to look back to normal but still not there yet.
Your lawn reminds me of warm season Kentucky 31 every time haha. Great video and knowledge as always. I do appreciate you! I got my FREEEEEDOM today as well! Excellent sticker design. Can't wait to see it do work! God bless!
My lawn is looking as good as it’s ever has… one thing that irritates me is that the seed heads went crazy in April. The i tire front yard. I bumped up my mowing height and about a month later seed heads everywhere… other than that loving my St Augustine grass !
I'm in mn and and we haven't had any rain and my grass is fried I have to figure out why my Irrigation system is missing parts of my front yard and not the other half
It works on brown patch in the winter months but not really on grey spot. I'm sure it works for some people but when the grass is wet for days on end it's hard for me to control it.
Great tips this week. Thanks! I needed this. I've been pondering over a few spots in the lawn that look a lot like leaf spot. Not sure if I want to hop on a different product yet just because it's a new lawn to me and I want to work with the tried and true first. But this will help me later if my problems keep showing up. Not a bad diy price either for us smaller lawns
They cut down two Camphor Trees in my yard late Feb. The roots were making baseball size mounds on my yard. My St Aug has been dormant since the felling and stump grinding. Not to mention the foot traffic in those two days plus some divots from the tree falling. What can I do to wake it up and get it growing? My lawn looks green with a few weeds here and there mainly Pusley. From the reading I’ve done, Camphor oils can kill off lots of plants. Hoping these little sucker from the camphor tree seeds aren’t choking my St Augustine out. There’s a bunch of seedlings growing where they cut down the trees and some.
Unrelated question. Anyone is welcome to reply. I live in Virginia and this is my second season trying to grow a Bermuda lawn. As a newbie last year I was treating my lawn for, what I thought was, crabgrass. However, this year I believe I have identified it as being Bahia grass. My question is, do they sell anything besides Metsulfuron Methyl that would remove the Bahia. I know MSM is very strong and I'm concerned that I could harm the Bermuda.
You can have loopers even when you don't use preemergent. Of course, you can have clubbed roots if you use too much preemergent. I have bunches of loopers. I just mow as normal. Survival of the fittest.
2:52 It's root clubbing did I heard right. Are you a looney Toon fan. Sound like something Daffy duck and Wabbit would say.😂😂😂😂 Am I right I say, boy I say am I right.
My understanding is the reason lawn St. Augustine seeds aren’t viable is because they are commercially reproduced hybrids. But wild non hybridized St. Augustine grass does produce viable seeds.
Great video and definitely cleared up my worries about seed heads. Mine seem to have lasted for much longer than 12 days. Even with consistent watering, fert, bio stems and cutting 2 times a week. On a serious note, can we put seed heads in our salads? Gotta get them nutrients
You can take the runners and plant them into the shade and it will start off , How? is take a shovel and step on it into the ground, take a runner poke down into the shovel slice and step on it to pack it. its best to plant the runners in a shade to get them to take off ~ That how i cover 22 acers by planting the runners ~ Sure it took me 5 years to get full coverage. But look how much i save from buying seeds. If you take a look at a runner 7:05 ~ each section has roots sticking out ~ So its easy to transplant and its faster than seeds and > Less watering ! ~ So every time i trim my side walks > i save the runners into a 5 gallon bucket, and transplant them under a tree or shade. To make them easier to start off
How long will it take for my St Augustine grass to catch. I put patches down like a checkered board in May. Also how long should I wait to put down the 2 n 1 fertilizer?
Thank you for the video.....It's very helpful. I have St. Augustine in my yard in Birmingham, Al. I've had a terrible time with grey leaf spot and brown spot. I've been working with the local county agent and plant pathologist over the last year or so and they have helped with treatment but I'm still having a prevention problem. It's June 5th and we've had a rainy season and the heat is really starting to crank up so I think I'm primed now to start experiencing the height of the problems. Their main recommendation is centered around the Scott's products like Disease X. I don't know if that's because they feel that is the most commercially available or easier or what? I don't want to saturate my soil with so many chemicals. I would like to add some natural nitrogen through maybe top dressing with a good compost but I don't know what to do naturally about the fungus? What are your thoughts?
"The first rule of Root Club is: You do not talk about Root Club!" :)
Like the Bob Ross of lawn care. Not even close to where St Aug can grow but I can watch all day……so calming to a LCN 😌
thank you Mike! I am a huge Bob Ross fan, that's a true complement.

I was thinking the same but after just applying 4 oz per 1000 I read the instructions again and for home and residential it says 2 oz per 1000 hope my st Augustine grass will be fine.
Cleary 3336 primarily a tree and shrub fungicide I believe.
Hello, I am writing to you about Italy, I have a st. Agustine, unfortunately I don't understand English and I'm sorry I don't understand your videos😔. You are a great professional, you have a wonderful lawn, it looks like the lawn of paradise. I want to ask you the ideal height of the st.augustine
That's just some super gorgeous grass!!!
Thank you !!
Great Video. I sent this to my boss and one of my co workers. Great info on here Alan. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip about traveling to Florida during the rainy season.
I have definitely noticed the seed heads with all the rain in North Texas. I have enjoyed all the free water going in to late Spring though! This is definitely not a year in our area to skip the bulletproof fungicide app strategy.
You must be in Florida. In California we haven't had much rain and the St. Augustine is doing better than the other grass species but it is also struggling.
North Dallas here and got patches of grey leaf spot starting to spread. Propiconazole, 3336 and disease ex thrown down today, and hoping for the best! Also have Thiomyl and Captan as other back-up fungicides, but haven’t used them yet. Thiomyl may just be the the 2nd cheapest treatment after Propiconazole which runs me $1.25 per 1k when bought by the gallon ($80).
Wow that st augustine seed looks so much like Nigrospora stolen rot. I was just freaking out because I thought I had Nigrospora stolen rot. I will observe the lawn carefully over the next week or two.
Allyn!!!! LMFAO. 🤣🤣🤣I have the same mower. Only 25 on the market that's electric and gets it done everytime for me 😁. The 2 circles on the side is what you have to press in to adjust whatever length you need on the bar height
... only nut like you would do it that way!!!. Stay safe brother. . Btw thanks for the new sticker with my hydertain order 👍
My St Augustine is thin under and green on top. Houston hot days.
My Pro Vista is doing this! Freaked me out at first. Going to seed that is.
Last Year I had a terrible year on my fresh new sod in my backyard. It was terrible. Had great new sod laid in march. Had to water a lot. That cause a fungus in late June. So I tried to fix it with fungicide. After that started fixing it I had infestation of army worms. Never heard of those. Man they were everywhere. Grass is finally trying to look back to normal but still not there yet.
How about a centipede video next? Very common in Florida too.
Have St. Augustine in South Texas.
Your lawn reminds me of warm season Kentucky 31 every time haha. Great video and knowledge as always. I do appreciate you! I got my FREEEEEDOM today as well! Excellent sticker design. Can't wait to see it do work! God bless!
Central Valley California were in full sun 🌞🌞🌞🌞 90's and 100's
South Florida here. We’re still dry on the East Coast...
My lawn is looking as good as it’s ever has… one thing that irritates me is that the seed heads went crazy in April. The i tire front yard. I bumped up my mowing height and about a month later seed heads everywhere… other than that loving my St Augustine grass !
Doing a review on the makita trimmer? Have one and love the thing! 5ah battery is a huge improvement even over the 4ah. Keep up the great content.
Any advice for moles? Little bastards are messing up all my work!
I wish mine is doing that good. I'm just trying to keep mine alive
We don't get any rain in Los Angeles county lol. I got one of those smart timers that use weather info to know when to turn on the sprinklers.
Love the video and very insightful , I'm in Texas.
I'm in mn and and we haven't had any rain and my grass is fried I have to figure out why my Irrigation system is missing parts of my front yard and not the other half
Live in Orlando. Mine looks good until it starts raining 4 months straight. Fungas is always an issue even though I don't over fertilize.
Does Disease EX help?
It works on brown patch in the winter months but not really on grey spot. I'm sure it works for some people but when the grass is wet for days on end it's hard for me to control it.
Great tips this week. Thanks! I needed this. I've been pondering over a few spots in the lawn that look a lot like leaf spot. Not sure if I want to hop on a different product yet just because it's a new lawn to me and I want to work with the tried and true first. But this will help me later if my problems keep showing up. Not a bad diy price either for us smaller lawns
@thelawncarenut could you do a video on Teejet nozzles? Like a compete training video on each tip and what they can be used for and why?
They cut down two Camphor Trees in my yard late Feb. The roots were making baseball size mounds on my yard. My St Aug has been dormant since the felling and stump grinding. Not to mention the foot traffic in those two days plus some divots from the tree falling. What can I do to wake it up and get it growing? My lawn looks green with a few weeds here and there mainly Pusley. From the reading I’ve done, Camphor oils can kill off lots of plants. Hoping these little sucker from the camphor tree seeds aren’t choking my St Augustine out. There’s a bunch of seedlings growing where they cut down the trees and some.
Reminds me of one of those videos where they spend two hours cleaning a $50 rug.
Unrelated question. Anyone is welcome to reply. I live in Virginia and this is my second season trying to grow a Bermuda lawn. As a newbie last year I was treating my lawn for, what I thought was, crabgrass. However, this year I believe I have identified it as being Bahia grass. My question is, do they sell anything besides Metsulfuron Methyl that would remove the Bahia. I know MSM is very strong and I'm concerned that I could harm the Bermuda.
I just got new St Augustine sod on Thursday can I add fertilizer now and do I water it in as soon as I add it…I live in Orlando I have Palmetto
Ok....so please answer this question. It's kinda like what came first...the chicken or the egg. So where did St. Augustine grass come from?
Was looking forward to the mow☹️
You can have loopers even when you don't use preemergent. Of course, you can have clubbed roots if you use too much preemergent. I have bunches of loopers. I just mow as normal. Survival of the fittest.
43,560!!! One of the only things I retained from real estate licensing courses lol
7-11.... lol
Our st augustine is about 3" above our sidewalk, how did you keep yours at sidewalk level?
Nice work Al. Going to look into the group 1 fungicides.
2:52 It's root clubbing did I heard right. Are you a looney Toon fan. Sound like something Daffy duck and Wabbit would say.😂😂😂😂
Am I right I say, boy I say am I right.
Scotts Disease Ex at the preventative rate is $4 per thousand for reference. Good info.
👊🤘
My understanding is the reason lawn St. Augustine seeds aren’t viable is because they are commercially reproduced hybrids. But wild non hybridized St. Augustine grass does produce viable seeds.
Great video and definitely cleared up my worries about seed heads. Mine seem to have lasted for much longer than 12 days. Even with consistent watering, fert, bio stems and cutting 2 times a week.
On a serious note, can we put seed heads in our salads? Gotta get them nutrients
Just going to start applying a preventative fungicide. What sprayer do u recommend for the liquid?
Central Texas. Too late to plant some St. Aug pods?
We put down new sod and it hasn't stopped raining since,for three weeks. Mushy. Brown. Sick
I don't have St. Aug but this video made me laugh several times.
You can take the runners and plant them into the shade and it will start off , How? is take a shovel and step on it into the ground, take a runner poke down into the shovel slice and step on it to pack it. its best to plant the runners in a shade to get them to take off ~ That how i cover 22 acers by planting the runners ~ Sure it took me 5 years to get full coverage. But look how much i save from buying seeds. If you take a look at a runner 7:05 ~ each section has roots sticking out ~ So its easy to transplant and its faster than seeds and > Less watering ! ~ So every time i trim my side walks > i save the runners into a 5 gallon bucket, and transplant them under a tree or shade. To make them easier to start off
How long will it take for my St Augustine grass to catch. I put patches down like a checkered board in May. Also how long should I wait to put down the 2 n 1 fertilizer?
Thank you for the video.....It's very helpful. I have St. Augustine in my yard in Birmingham, Al. I've had a terrible time with grey leaf spot and brown spot. I've been working with the local county agent and plant pathologist over the last year or so and they have helped with treatment but I'm still having a prevention problem. It's June 5th and we've had a rainy season and the heat is really starting to crank up so I think I'm primed now to start experiencing the height of the problems. Their main recommendation is centered around the Scott's products like Disease X. I don't know if that's because they feel that is the most commercially available or easier or what? I don't want to saturate my soil with so many chemicals. I would like to add some natural nitrogen through maybe top dressing with a good compost but I don't know what to do naturally about the fungus?
What are your thoughts?
Hello I've been spraying and praying but I can't find anything to get rid of moles in my lawn. Do you have any suggestions?
