Doing it yourself will make it much more lush and green than using any of the well known services. When you drive down streets that are all St. Augustine, you can easily pick out the ones the homeowner takes care of himself. You can also search "St. Augustine Lawn Care" for more in depth instructions on how much to apply and watering.
Don't use weed killer on St Augustine grass unless it is Atrazine. 2,4,D will kill St Augustine grass. READ the label.
