If you are convinced you need to totally replace your existing St. Augustine lawn, which I assume is Pro Vista, you might consider another variant...Citra Blue. Pro Vista is notoriously susceptible to Take All Root Rot, and is not very resistant to insects. The Citra Blue variant is much more resistant to disease and insects, it is softer to the touch, and grows more slowly...meaning less frequent mowing. I know a few people who have switched to Citra Blue, and they love it.
