It doesn't bother me a bit, but got me wondering, if it's dormant, is there any benefit to watering it?

Grass care-you will find endless conflicting opinions. I do not have St Augustine, I have the Empire Zoysia. I drafted a researched outline of what to do when and another page of what I did and when as well as product used.
Painted green-truth is you can purchase the same green paint. The proper product, does not harm the grass. I've never used it BUT, an opportunity to win the my grass is greener than your grass battle.
MY OPINION- your plantings Trees, Shrubs after one year are not fully rooted in. While they are dormant, they are really semi dormant it has been running 70 at midday and we have had very little rain. Probably a good idea to water once a week.
The sad my grass can take your grass. People in the Villages have either Empire Zoysia or St Augustine. Each has plusses and minuses. Procedures, neither can read.
Be sure to read instructions on any product before you put it down. Weed killers, there are products that will kill or severely damage your lawn
