I do my own lawn. I use Scott’s Southern Lawn fertilizer that states on the front it is ok for St Augustine lawns. Don’t mow your grass below 3.75”. St Augustine will stress. New lawns don’t get fertilized for 2 months. Water water water. You’ll find most in the Southern area with beautiful St Augustine water 3x a week because 2x isn’t enough. It stressed. Starting in April put down Triazacide every 6 wks for cinch bugs. They can kill your lawn in a week. I also alternate with Scott’s Grub X. Easy to order from Scott’s.com for everything. Most importantly is water. St Augustine is watered at my house 3x a week for 45 minutes each time in summer months and less in winter (about once a week so roots grow in winter).
