Every year TV replace hundreds of sq. yards of St. Augustine sod only to do it all over again the following year. They have a great Landscape Department and they have still not solved the problem after all this time. We all would be much better off if someone would find a solution to the cinch bug problem.
That is Zoysia that is being replace south of 466 on BV and is due to winter kill.
