But the good news is that it is all treatable. Try to notice and catch it early.
I understand TV started putting in a strain of Zoysia in all yards about six years ago or so. It was suppose to be better than the St. Augustine. But I have a good friend in Village of Lynnhaven who got some of the last St. Augustine and he says he has never had any kind of problems with his grass. His yard has always looked great.
