So can those of you with St. Augustine lawns tell us how often you have to water to maintain those GREAT looking lawns? Just curious.

I also live in Buttonwood with Zoysia but have had all my life before moving here St. Augustine in S. Florida. I notice Zoysia needs much more watering and doesn't fill in bad spots as well since St. Augustine creeps to fill in. The only down side I know of is St. Augustine can be infected with Chinch bugs but are easily taken care of with spraying. Last year I went to a talk with a master gardener and he asked if anyone really believes that Zoysia is better as the developer said? He said "don't believe it". Take a look at the lawns north of 466 that are St. Augustine and see how green and healthy they are compared to Zoysia.
