Mowing
Mow your lawn to the proper height before it goes dormant in the fall. This will help you avoid removing too much grass in the spring. Continue mowing in the spring. Regular mowing encourages new stolons and lateral growth. However, avoid mowing the grass too short, as this can stress it.
Fertilizing
Fertilize after the last frost. Use a fertilizer that supports healthy roots and vibrant growth. Avoid excessive fertilization while the grass is dormant.
Aerating
Aerate your lawn to open up the soil and stimulate root development. Aeration can also help with soil compaction.
Pre-emergent herbicide
Apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weeds from germinating.
Improving soil quality
Add nutrients to improve your soil's quality. St. Augustine grass grows best in well-aerated soil.
