    I have been researching St. Augustine grass and trying to figure out how to fix our grass. We bought our house last year and since it was going into the fall we left the yard alone. We also got a dog. We had a winter freeze and after that we noticed patches and no matter what we do nothing. Our whole neighborhood has the same dead grass. I love watching your videos because they're simple. Believe it or not we started with the fingicide and then the weed stop along with the fertilizer and our grass is bouncing back. My only question is what's a good routine? When Spring is coming into bloom, what's a good routine? When going into winter, what's a good routine? Througout the summer whats a good routine? Thaks for sharing your videos. I really appreciate them.

    • @LawnAmateur
      @LawnAmateur  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A good routine for Spring, Summer and Early Fall is to Fertilizer, Mow frequently, and Water your lawn those are the basics to growing and promoting a healthy strong lawn. Once you get this routine down the lawn will be 10x better off this alone. Thank you for your support

      There's really no organic weed killer on the market besides a product by doctor earth but that'll kill weeds and grass. Spectracide will kill the weeds without harming the grass you just need to stay off the treated area for 48 hours. I have two dogs both 9 years old and I use this and they're both healthy.

      That grass type is not labeled specifically on spectracide bottle by name but that grass type is labeled as a tall fescue and tall fescue is labeled on the spectracide bottle. So I would say it should be able to handle that grass type but before any major treatment I would test out a small spot in the yard first before going all in on the majority of the yard to make sure.
