Irrigation, Water and St Augustine Grass: Healthy, Weed Free and Green Lawn - Just Add Water

The picture shows a leaking irrigation pipe keeping the soil moist near the leak. The St Augustine grass above the leak is healthy, thick, green and weed free. The St Augustine grass beyond the leak is brown, weak, thin and weedy. The difference being - water! If you want a healthy, weed free, GREEN lawn, water as much and as often as law permits.

How Important is Water to a St Augustine Lawn

The most crucial component of the lawn care is water. Water is only about 5% of your lawn maintenance time and budget, but it can ruin the other 95%. Without water, nothing else will be of any value to your lawn. Simply put: No water, no lawn! - no matter how much fertilizer you apply, or how much bug killer you apply or fancy grass cultivar you plant or how much your mower cost - without water, nothing will make your lawn beautiful.
