If you replace the zoysia with St. Augustine, please speak to your neighbors first so they won't be surprised when it takes over their lawns. If they don't mind or care, have them talk to their neighbors to let them know what will happen. Changing to St. Augustine carries some problems as well.

I've been in my home for eight years. The lawn struggled for a while until I changed to Zoysia Green to fertilize my lawn every other month. Looks great now. Please give it some time, care, and water.
