New St. Augustine lawn watering instructions

Very subjective, but we recommend once a day for 2 weeks, every other day after that until the month is over.

Water it until you flood the neighbors yard or it rains. Then when its dry, open the Spigot back up again.

Whatever anyone tells you apply fungicide or there is a good chance you will end up with some sort of rot issue.

45 mins a day for 2 weeks

Then what? Mine is 2 weeks in and getting dry already since Sunday.

The goal is to keep it wet. If it’s not drying then don’t water.

Recently replaced a little over half of my back yard. Roundup on the whole section being replaced, then rented a tiller from Home Depot to break up the surface and get rid of the dead mat of Bermuda grass and weeds that had taken over.

Grass has taken well so far. Only issue I had is that I should have waited a little longer after roundup. At the edge of new sod to old, the round up killed more than I realized. So I had a 1.5' row of dead grass between old and new. It just took a couple extra weeks for that to brown. So I ended up buying more sod to fill in an extra row. Which is okay, but I've got sod that is 2 weeks behind the first set. Which means I'm trying to water the new sod generously without drowning the first set.
