Lawn Care Tips : Lawn Care Tips: Growing St. Augustine Grass

[MrCatmandew2]

we have floratam at work and it looks great cut at 2and a half to 3 inches.i know alot of folks say that too short,but its not scalped,and it just looks great at that height.it does require a ton of water though.

Even with all its faults, St. Augustine sure is beautiful. Holds up to traffic well, and the thick blades make it appear as though there's far more grass. Centipede on steroids.
