Many people confuse sedges with sandspurs. Sedges thrive in St Augustine lawns and since sedges grow faster than St Augustine they can be seen as wispy green leaves scattered above a lawn a few days after mowing. Sandspurs rarely grow in a fertile, well-watered lawn. Sandspurs prefer poor dry sandy roadsides - where you park to bare foot it to the beach (painful).

St Augustine Grass Mowing Height
Myth #2 – ALL LAWNS SHOULD BE SHORT TO LOOK GOOD - While it is true some grasses look better mowed low, St Augustine looks best when mowed at 4” or higher. A tall St Augustine lawn will look great – it will be greener, thicker, and have fewer weeds and pest problems – you just can’t play croquet on a St Augustine lawn.

Many believe a lawn isn't a lawn unless it is short. But St Augustine must be mowed as high as the mower will go to be a lawn

Brown Patch: In Pinellas, this fungus is a sub-lethal but will turn a beautiful lawn from perfect to "what the heck happened" overnight. Since it is a soil borne disease, it is hard to prevent. No good prevention as preventative treatments are expensive and curative treatments of a fungicide help but the damage is done. Solution: At APL Lawn Spraying we keep the potassium levels high and nitrogen levels low to reduce occurrence.

Fall Transition
Summer sun, heat and rains are yielding to cooler mornings, shorter days and less rain. This is a transitional period for your lawn – transitioning from full throttle metabolism of the summer to restful idling as the turf retools the metabolic engine for the colder winter months.
