I had the original St. Augustine ProVista grass since we purchased new in 2020. Last year for some reason it died out from either chinch bugs, or over watering. Either way Fertigator came out to see if they could bring it back. No such luck. They recommended a complete sod replacement.
I contacted Chessari Sod (their family owns a sod farm) for an estimate on complete replacement. He told me that the ProVista variant is new, and not doing well here in The Villages. This variant tends to break down from all the fertilizers that are placed after a few years.
He suggested the St. Augustine Floratam sod. This variant has been around for some time, and can handle fertilizers much better.
It’s been over a year since I had it installed, and I must say I probably have the nicest lawn in the neighborhood.
