We even asked one of the professionals from UF and they said St. Augustine is fine here. I am really perplexed as to how St. Augustine grass got such a bad rep around here. Go look for yourselves.

I thought it was a water usage issue when TV started building in Sumter County. Be sure to check with deed compliance before switching from zoysia to St. Augustine to make sure it's permitted in your area.
I would love to have St. Augustine rather than zoysia.
We had beautiful lush lawns grown on top of sand at Lake Michigan. Probably northern grass types grow better in sand than what we have down here. Instead of two times a week, it was watered every day for short periods due to the fact that the water drained right through the sand.
When you leave the north, you kiss beautiful lush lawns goodbye. But remember that when you're not shoveling snow.
