Watering new St Augustine sod
Posted on 5/27/23 at 10:10 am

Just planted a pallet in squares around the yard to fill in dead sports after summer drought followed by 10 degree nights in December. Far north Texas.
I’ve read to water to an inch deep twice a day for the first two weeks, then every other day. Seems like a lot of soaking? Our lawn treatment guy said to “leave it alone mostly” but he’s all about preventing fungus.

In S LA, daily to sloggy, week 1; every other day to sloggy, week 2; twice, to sloggy, week 3. Thereafter as needed in the absence of 1” + inch of rain per week.

I did this exact method with some new St Aug sod about 2 months ago. It did develop gray leaf spot. But I treated it with this stuff at about week 3 and it is perfectly healthy and spreading now.

Pretty much did this for a pallet I put down about a month ago and it is thriving.

Water when it needs water. If you can't look at the grass and determine that then ask somebody to help out. and inch deep twice a day is too much water.

That St Aug sod aint gonna weather that cold TX winter very well. St Aug gets bad freeze damage below 20 deg.

I see someone DV'd my freeze comment without any response. I had a yard full of dead freeze damaged St Aug after the 18 deg we had in Jan. Just ask the local nurseries around Baton Rouge.

It wasn’t me. My lawn is the proof. But St. Aug is by far the most common in N Texas and very high maintenance after a major freeze.
Have some smaller patches of Bermuda that’s been invading some of the dead spots.
