Just bought a house and the lawn looked like this. An old lady owned it and didnt care for it. Its a long process but a few months in its looking amazing. I used the advice in your video and it worked.
Hey from Palm Harbor! I don't know what you guys are putting in this Flagship, but man... it is a miracle cure! You mentioned that Flagship gives SA a special kind of deep blue/green color and wow were you right. Everyone's lawns in my neighborhood look good... and why not, they're paying hundreds of dollars for professional lawn care, but there is some kind special feeling when you have the BEST looking lawn in the neighborhood and you did it yourself! Try this Flagship... you won't be disappointed!
Most Lawn issues can be remedied by increasing the length of the blades. St Augustine calls for a 3" cut. It will keep the roots shaded, the weeds out, and the moisture in.
Such a great improvement in a short span of time. I'm dealing with a rehab of my front yard. It was primarily St Augustine when we moved in but some Bermuda had already taken hold before we got here. With life and everything going on, just kinda neglected it unfortunately and now it's maybe a 60% Bermuda yard, 20% St Augustine, and the rest is weeds. Thinking at this point the best course of action for us is to resod and then get onto a proper lawn care regimen (finished the Yard Care Bootcamp trainings a couple weeks ago - great stuff!).
@@trg808 Well we haven't done a resod and I'm honestly debating if I'm going to bother. As we're getting more into peak growing season, the St Augustine up front is starting to crowd out the weeds that were getting in the way. I've done a couple applications of Image for Southern Lawns (including the one for crabgrass) and that's helped knock some out too. The Bermuda that we have is loving life too, I think I'm just learning to live with it.
Allyn, this is the first time I recall you mentioning the pyrethroid-resistant chinch bug issue with this project lawn. This has been a huge issue for my lawn on East Coast of FL. I've found that Arena is the best at treating these St Aug lawn killers, but regardless they've come back every year in the heart of the summer heat. They seem to reach a peak in August, and love the extra heat near my sidewalks. All of a sudden, your like what the heck happened here! I've found that most of the store bought cinch bug products are ineffective, and it seems this project lawn of yours has seen much of what my lawn has seen but even worse. Take it from me, they'll be back, so get a preventative strategy in place that includes Arena, or if you find something else let me know!! This year I'm trying: May 1st-GrubX, May 30-Sunniland Fert w/insecticide (Bifenthrin) before black out, July 1st-Arena. Let's see, if I can keep these buggers from eating my beautiful St Aug.
So glad you said some grasses are slow. For some reason my st aug in the front has grown in patchy but it is slowly throwing stolens. Not use it it being this slow and so is the Bermuda. Thanks for this video.
I am one of the Cleetus McFarland people that sub'ed to you. It is awesome that you are still out at the Freedom Factory. Thank you so much for the all the work you do. Definitely have helped me!
LCN- Love the St. Aug project results. I wish you’d visit me just north of you. My front yard is St. Aug that is deep green and reaching for the sky (2x week mowing), but my backyard has St. Aug that isn’t thriving… bent over…just not PROUD St. Aug. I’ve got acidic soil from LCN soil tests and hitting it with lime…but just doesn’t seem to suck up the fert and we’ve heading for the big fert ban… Nice job on the St. Aug lawn!!!!
I'm over on the east coast of FL but I've been battling what I believe is TARR for the last couple of months. I've been mowing and watering consistently, applied 2 curative apps of the bulletproof strategy, and putting down standard rates of fertilizer, biostims, potassium. I think the damage has stopped spreading but recovery hasn't kicked in yet. Soil test shockingly returned a high PH of 8 (6.85->8 in 2.5 years??), so now I ordered mag-i-cal. hoping that kicks things back in shape and my St Augustine starts thriving again.
Cant wait for the FF grass content, have you talked to Garret about fixing the drainage issues that you mentioned last year after the new light poles got installed
Rain is slightly acidic, right? Also doesn’t leave all kind of calcified salts behind that stick to everything including covering the roots. Rain flushes all that trash out. But its “texture” or “structure” is definitely different and I’ve always noticed that as well. I’ve always wanted to know what it is
Hello buddy , great video . I had some work done and the wheel barrow left damaged grass showing a long trail around 10 feet. Any suggestions on how to get it restored ? Thanks, I'm in the Tampa Area.
I'm in Kentucky and have Augustine Grass in my front yard. I'm starting to get some dried-out areas but it's not a loss (yet). I plan on aerating. I already get the lawn treated and have a sprinkler system installed. My question...is there a good grass seed to mix with Augustine if I want to overseed?
If you need to showcase a worst case scenario lawn, you can use mine! I’m in Volusia if you want to film a video showcasing sprinkler repair, bald spots, poor leveling, crazy oak trees choking the roots and years of old leaves piled up. Oh, also dog spots everywhere.
I’ve learned a lot watching your channel! I live here in south eastern Sarasota county and my lawn is also St. Augustine. But when I moved here, it wasn’t taken care of very well. I tried to revive it as best as I could with whatever fertilizer I found at Home Depot and and it have gotten better. But also got a lot of weeds and wild Bermuda. I already ordered 7-0-20, and 24-0-6. Should I treat weeds with glyphosate?
How should you water new St. Augustine sod? I think I overwatered mine. And it’s turning yellow and it hasn’t grown much. I’m not sure (so I’m watering less) I added a 24-0-6 nitrogen fertilizer 2 weeks ago and it seems to be turning greener but not growing. I have not cut it since we got the sod bc it’s still very short. But after watching this video i will cut. I will also fertilizer every month. Maybe I should add the stress blend? I stay at home so I baby my lawn lol We got the sod in late January 2023 🤦🏽♀️
@Cards In The Closet was bent over rubbing a dog belly a couple days ago and saw one. It's been years since I've used any type of bug chemical in my yard, because until after the 2nd icemageddon,I had a pretty good firefly population. Don't know if the 'systemic' nature of the Arena would kill off bees and butterflies.
I have laid some Citra Blue a couple of months ago that's looking a little rough now. Might try some of these methods to see if I can get it to come back. Should I be mowing it lower since it's a strong horizontal growing?
Rain water is likely better than tap water because of higher levels of oxygen and nitrogen. Tap water can sometimes have high levels of chlorine, which grass may not appreciate.
Great video. For the lawn that has the mis matched "warts" growing. Can you do a vid (if you haven't already) about how you will get rid of the warts and have it regrow with what you want? I have a similar deal here in Denver with predominantly Bluegrass but have some "warts" as well. Lawn looks good but ocd won't allow the warts.
I just noticed your average highs even in February are in the 80s no wonder that grass filled in by now for me average 80s are just now starting beginning May and lowes are just now starting in 70s it's been mostly 50 60 range at nights so I only needed to mow just 1 time so far
So here in SE TX. Have a similar issue with patches of dead grass but I also have not taken care of my lawn due to sickness. Now that I am feeling better I want to tackle the patchy problem. But I noticed I also have weeds that have grown in the dead patchy spots. My question is should I remove the dead grass and weeds first before following these steps outlined in the video or will the Raleigh St Augustine spread regardless once fertilizer and watering has been applied. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Any recommendations I am getting hit pretty hard with armadillos, digging up my landscape and my Saint Augustine grass. I threw down all kinds of bug killer for the lawn to see if I can keep them at bay and doesn’t seem to help and I still see ant mounds.
Fucker jinxed us it hasn't rained since this fuckin video and the county is doing a water main project near, reduced pressure for over a week shortened the sprinkler reach and caused dry patches.,,. thanks a lot dude
New to area, thought I was doing right to watering every day. Found out, that was not true. I'm reading, twice a week. Can you confirm this or should I go to once a week? I'm in FL as well south of Tampa
Hi LCN. Thanks for all your helpful videos. I haven’t really seen you talk about hedges and shrubs much so thought I’d ask a quick question. Can I use flagship on my young and also my recently planted podocarpus hedges? I’m in south Florida if that matters
Question about leveling your st Augustine if you have a ditch in your front yard, and everything is sloped towards the ditch would you still use “play sand” or would the “play sand” eventually just run out of your yard and into the ditch?
Hi! I live in Northwest Indiana in Lowell. I first started watching you two year ago and followed what you did for the church in crown point. This year I have a problem already. I started like usual with the Lesco starter fertilizer and it definitely gave life to my grass. The problem is there a lot of spots that I thought was affected by me not watering enough last summer. Well those spots have not recovered and looked dead and bald now. I don't know what it could be can you help?
Did the mowing heights vary during the rehab? To me it looked cut low at the start. What’s the current height at this time? Looking damn good though 🇺🇸
@ 5:00 the rain. It is magical. I believe part of why rain is better for the grass than irrigation simply is that it has a lower pH. At about 5.5 or so it's lower than my well water which is around 7. SA grass loves water. I recently tested my soil pH with my well watered lawn and it is in the mid 7's. I'm starting an aggressive pH lowering regimen with elemental sulfur, citric acid, molasses, and ammonium sulphate. I usually use Yard Mastery products currently but am going to use Ammonium for my last fert until Nitrogen restrictions start in 30 days here in west central Florida. I believe these applications (for life) will offset the higher well water pH.
I have st. Aug grass but my neighbor has some Bermuda grass getting into my yard. My landscaper said he can't destroy Bermuda without destroying my at. Aug. Is there anything to kill Bermuda but preserve st aug?
@@nannernose3133 no space needed. Throw them down whenever you like, they do not interfere with one another. I apply fert monthly and RGS monthly as well.
I live in Ft. Worth, TX and experiencing what looks like fungus. The belief here is that nitrogen feed fungus. Is this true? A recent soil test, home kit, shows no nitrogen. You applied a significant amount of N on this lawn. Should I follow your schedule? FYI: we’ve had temps below normal this spring. I’m looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks.
You can't stop feeding the lawn when its sick... but you need to treat the fungus right away. I love a combination of disease ex and bioadvanced liquid fungicide working together and then get some nitrogen down and I will also add potassium is very important in disease prevention.
4+ years later what’s your opinion of ProVista St Augustine vs Palmetto, etc? Just finished building my house and trying to decide which cultivar to go with.
How do you space out a bio stim or microbe pack relative to my fert? Do I want the bio stim and microbe pack like a week before fert? That’s usually what I do
What do you recommend for getting rid of creeping Indigo? I think that is what I have been pulling out in my lawn and it keep finding more and more of it pop up in my st Augustine.
This looks like what happened to my lawn!!!! But what about this, sure my St Aug died but I also have spots where I have horrible invading Bermuda. My question is how come they didn't eat that grass lol?!?!?
i was so bummed I had put down scotts disease ex as my st augustine had some types of fungus diseases, after 2 weeks I did a second application, a week after that, it was like a weird line was cut halfway down my yard and it was all brown and chewed up looking, I couldnt understand if the fungus treatment burnt the grass like a fertilizer despite following settings and it being a granule. Anyway, I was ready to throw in the towel for a beautiful backyard for the season, but like magic, a few rainstorms and it bounces back like no tomorrow. It's still not where I want it, but I have limited time beyond the basic cut/weed/trim, sometimes I bust the sprinklers out for a early watering, but I have a paranoia about my water system as I turn the bypass from our water softener system on 100%, but still feel like salt might be getting into the water sprinklers somehow? Is that crazy? Anyway, my first rant on lawns in youtube, take care guys. -NE FL.
Your sprinkler system should not be going to your water softener. Whoever plumbed that was not bright. You need to have the sprinklers plumbed from your watercmain onto the sprinklers first.
I have the same issue but not major weeds just small broadleaf ones. I used granular preemergent and still got some. So I’m gonna buy the liquid prodiamine product from yard mastery.
I also forgot to mention that I use Flagship as my fertilizer and in between fertilization I use r-gs the sea kelp and also I forgot the name of it but the one that helps the water get deep into the roots.

Rain is magical! Couldnt agree more. My St. Aug always looks way better after natural rain vs irrigation.
Do the dead stolens need to be removed for St Augustine to replenish those areas?

Use sulfur to lower the PH

Look at my videos from this year on bahia. I struggled with seed.
Did the mowing heights vary during the rehab? To me it looked cut low at the start. What’s the current height at this time? Looking damn good though 🇺🇸

My zoysia yard is covered in WEEDS! Please help!!
I have the same issue but not major weeds just small broadleaf ones. I used granular preemergent and still got some. So I’m gonna buy the liquid prodiamine product from yard mastery.
Hey Nut, where can I find the best maintenance plan for Bermuda in Charlotte NC?
Right here in my app. You can keep photos and notes in the lawn journal section as well. yardmastery.com/pages/yard-mastery-app-download
If they wanted to take the St Aug up a notch, would could she do??
Rain will do it.
Celsius drinks. Not to be confused with the Celsius weed killer.
For your fertilizer apps, did you apply 1k of N every time?
I followed the bag rate so for the one app of Stress I got .21lbs/N and for the 3 Flagship apps I got .75lb/N for each.
Aha! This looks like my yard.
Did you apply both grub ex and imadlicloprid at the same time?
same day, back to back, watered it all in together.
@@TheLawnCareNut I did not know you could do that. I might try that this year.
What grass seed are you going to use on that lawn?
It's ProVista St Augustine
@@TheLawnCareNut was talking about the bahia grass project, as i live like 30 minutes north
There's a season turn turn turn 😂😂😂. U I like 😊
I also forgot to mention that I use Flagship as my fertilizer and in between fertilization I use r-gs the sea kelp and also I forgot the name of it but the one that helps the water get deep into the roots.
I don't understand the Bahia grass reference. Why is he shouting?
I have weeds that have just INVADED my St. Augustine. It’s so frustrating.
Celsius, It has what plants need.
Does anyone know if I can throw down ironite with my normal fertilizer?
I would not recommend it. Keep it separated by a few weeks
It's a by-product of lightning
Can't tell you how much it annoys me that everyone always tells me, just over seed whatever grass you have. 🤦🏻♀️
According to Carl Spackler, most people don't even know about chinch bugs! Cannonball!!
🤣🤣🤣
I have a client exactly like this
Sethoxydim will shut that signalgrass right down. Use a wick. It will kill St. Augustine too.
Yes, yes you are a Nut! 🤣😂
Wooot
Will St Aug grass smother Torpedo or will Torpedo grass smother St Augustine grass?
Torpedo grass always wins.
@@paulazemeckis7835 you are 100% correct. The torpedo is incredibly aggressive. Jaw dropping.
