St. Augustine runners
These runners are called stolons and are part of St. Augustine grass. They are growing to help thicken the lawn and fill in bare spots. Do NOT pull them out but you can cut them back if they are growing into your flower beds. I tuck the ones growing on top of the lawn, back down into the grass. This type of grass looks great (lush, thick and green all year) but it's difficult walking on this spongy type of grass!

All cultivars of St Augustine except the dwarf cultivar (Seville) should be mowed at 3.5 - 4” Seville should be mowed at 2 - 2.5” Keep your Floratam, ProVista, Raleigh, Palmetto, Classic, Bitterblue and Citrablue cultivars mowed at 3.5” - 4” for a thick, healthy and weed-free yard. |

Wrong
Absolutely untrue. I have used it for years. The ProVista St. Augustine isn’t harmed when you use glyphosate 41%. It’s wonderful for the turf war South of 44.

All the runners are St. Augustine. St. Augustine grass is a "weed". In '05-'06 The Villages switched from St. Augustine to Zoysia because Zoysia grass needs less water and if you water it too much you kill it. Why they switched back to St. Augustine is probably because they got a better deal. I hate St. Augustine grass because it is too tough to cut, chinch bugs, and is too spongy to walk on.

That is centipede grass. Sometimes simbionic relationships are good. Maybe those 2 grasses would be good. Centipede stays gree in a drought.
