Lawn Care Tips
Use the "higher is better" rule when cutting St. Augustine. It normally is cut at a 4.5 inch height (different lawns can vary minimally).
Make sure your lawn service is not cutting your lawn too low. This can cause "burnout" and can destroy your turf.
Water your lawn according to the water schedule of your town, county, etc.
When fertilizing, use a "granular" fertilizer. Monthly "liquid" treatments will "super green" your lawn but usually do not promote a strong root base.
Always cut with sharp blades.
Inspect the tips of your grass blades a day or two after a cut. They should be mostly straight across. If they are jagged, that is a sign that your blades need sharpening. S&V Lawn Service
