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.
St. Augustine grass spreads both by rhizomes and stolons, meaning that it sends out runners both above and below ground. Itâs normally a very aggressive spreader â in fact, most of the time I hear questions about how to stop it! St. Augustine is a warm-season grass that grows well in full sun and moist soil in warm, coastal areas. If you have large bare spots, you may want to propagate the grass instead of waiting for it to spread.
