with St aug, you have to be careful - the Thatch machines around here are blades not tines. Blade dethatching will cause some damage to the lawn, airation does nothing by the way. We had gorgeous St Aug at our former house - amazing differece with tine thatching it got thick and deep green. Highly recommend.

If it's actually zoysia.... only tine otherwise you'll kill it with blade.
