Getting ready for spring

Does your St. Augustine lawn exhibit all the signs of needing help?
What to look for:

The dark brown area ( thatch ) 

• Hard to mow?
• 3 or more inches above the sidewalk?
• Top growth excessive it's like that fancy mattress you have?
• It's over fertilized?
• It's over watered?
• Has a build-up of thatch?  The thatch builds on of the soil and in the top inch of soil. Thatch is not cause by grass clippings.

           Lawn aeration or plugging is  wasting your $$$$ See: Verticutting versus  Aeration on St. Augustine Lawns in this blog.

All grasses benefit from Verticutting, but this part is for St. Augustine lawns.

1. Now in the slow season (Tampa Bay) start mowing a little shorter each mowing.
2. The closer you can get to 2-2.5 inches in height, the better the result of Verticutting will be.
