ugh. . the autowatering didn't water last summer and there were large patches of lost St Augustine, and the torpedo weeds took over. Looks and acts alot like St Augustine, but thinner and spreads more rapidly than st augustine.

Tough to keep up when the wind blows the weeds everywhere and the weather didn't cooperate with rain on our street . .

St. Augustine grass is nothing like crab grass. The only crab grass I know was on Long Island, NY. A lawn of St. Augustine grass looks like a carpet if it is nice and healthy. Crab grass could never look that good.
