NOTE:
Before doing anything it's a good
idea to measure your lawn to determine
total square footage. Measure
the length and width of the lawn
area and multiply (Example; 100'
length x 100' width = 10,000 total
square feet). If your lawn is
in sections measure length x width
of each section then adding the
square feet of each section together
to determine total square footage.
Doing this will let you know how
much fertilizer or other products
to apply.

Mowing
a Centipede or St. Augustine Lawn
- Centipede is known
as the 'Lazy Man's Grass' because
it doesn;t require as much maintenance.
During the growing season mow
Centipede or St. Augustine lawns
about once every two weeks, or
as needed. Never remove more than
1/3 the height of the grass when
mowing. Edge every two weeks or
as desired.TIP:
We use a weed eater turned upside
down to edgearound beds and surfaced
areas. |
| |
| Watering
- Centipede and St. Augustine
lawns are quite drought tolerant,
however, during long dry periods
it may be necessary to give the
lawn a deep soaking once a week
or so to maintain healthy appearance.
CAUTION:
Do Not water lawns in the late evening
or during the night as this may
promote the development of damaging
fungus. It is best to water during
the early morning or daytime hours
when the sun will quickly dry off
water from the blades of grass. |

Common
Pests - The most
common pest in centipede
lawns is the spittlebug.
The spittlebug has a wedge-shaped
black body and two red lines
that run across its back.
They usuallly appear during
summer if there's been lots
of rain.
If
you walk across your grass
and it sounds squishy, or
you see a spit-like substance
here and there in the grass,
most likely you have spittlebugs.
Fortunately,
spittlebug management is
easy to do. If you find
these critters in your lawn
mow the grass and then broadcast
Triazicide Granules as soon
as possible. Be sure to
read and follow all directions
on label. Do not apply chemical
24 hours prior to rain.
Make sure to turn irrigation
system off for a few days.
Delay mowing for several
days. |
