Most of it hasn't reached 4 inches yet but it's been scalped too short by Dean's for 3 years and taking a little time to recover.

I have zoysia and HOC is a totally different animal with St. Augustine. Sounds like you now have it under control. I've also drastically reduced my Empire zoysia HOC and the increased thickness is kind of amazing - at least in the best areas.
