Default My experience

Our 1st FL house in Sarasota had St. Augustine grass(which grows thick & high) and after 3-4 years it had matured and grown to the point the one doughnut was not enough.

I had to put a double doughnut layer and in a number of cases replace the sprinkler head with a taller one.

Here in T.V. with Zoysia grass , this has not happened, grass does not grow as high.

Just insure that the heads clear the doughnuts and grass.

Hope this helps.
