Winter Lawn Tips

As winter approaches, remember that St. Augustine lawns do not enter a deep dormancy during the winter months. Be aware of winter dry spells and water if the top 1/2" of soil is dry to the touch. This will prevent the plants from dying during the winter
If temperatures are expected to drop below 20 degrees, water the lawn. A wet soil will freeze and keep soil temperatures close to 32 degrees. A dry soil will drop to the 20 degrees and damage or kill the roots.
