With more maintenance, St. Augustine can provide a very desirable lawn with a thick, dark green, lush turf capable of crowding out weeds. The mowing height for St. Augustine is 2.5 to 4 inches. Shady lawns should be mowed at 3â to 4â. Generally, the lower you mow it, the more frequently you will have to mow, but the result will be a higher quality turf. St. Augustine grass should NOT be scalped in the spring like other warm season grasses.
The plugs should be place from 6 to 12 inches apart. St Augustine grass can be plugged at 24 inches apart, but will take longer to fill in. If using stolons, the stolons must be covered over with a thin layer of dirt except for the grass blades.
