Good Grass - Bad Grass
1 Attachment(s)
Ok, St. Augustine grass experts. Are the runners in the middle of the picture good grass or bad grass? If it is not St Augustine grass runners what is it? Thanks.

Looks like St Augustine to me. I’d recommend top dressing the area with soil/sand to cover the runners. This will help it thicken up.
You could even google St Augustine grass to do a comparison. |

A lot of us have that grass mixed in with our St Augustine. It tends to take over. I will pull those runners up when I see them, and it tends to keep that grass from spreading. Eventually the St Augustine takes over. One of my neighbors has a section of yard that has been taken over by it. It looks good, just noticeably different.

The ProVista strain is tolerant of glyphosate weed killer while the other strains are not. Best to know what strain you have in order to take care of it. |
"runners"..............make sure it's not Torpedo Grass.

Differences between Torpedo and Augustine
St. Augustine is a great grass for down here. Torpedo grass is an enemy that gets 3-4 seed heads that fan out. Its main stalk and leaves are finer than St. Augustine. Don’t fret if you have it though, it can be easily killed by Glyphosate. Just spray it and it’s gone in about 2 weeks.
What you have could be OK? It’s hard to tell without the tell tale sign of the seed heads. |
Be careful in the cool season as roundup will kill pro Vista when it's not actively growing. Mix it half strength.

This “grass” is more of a vine than traditional grass. The runner you see is part of a very thin lawn. Enrich the lawn with a quality fertilizer like Scott’s plus2 and it will thicken up

You are correct except that The Villages changed back to Floratam St Augustine grass (used in yards above 44) but South of the MickeyLee course maintenance building on Megasson down to 470, according to the Property Management people I had at my home in Newell about the common area along roads and trails.
