I am also in the ATX and have St. Augustine in my backyard. Due to all of the shade and leaves I had mostly dirt. I had my trees trimmed in late April and now have enough sun going into the backyard that I went from 5% coverage to about 65% coverage without adding any sod. I’m hoping by the end of the Summer it will be completely filled in or close enough to it that next year I’ll have a beautiful backyard to match my front yard.

Palmetto St. Augustine makes for a great Arizona sod variety. Considering the warm environment in Arizona it can really thrive during the summer time. I had Evergreen Turf install some in my yard, my kids love being able to run around the grass in the summer since the pavement is too hot.

I live in AUstin, Texas.
In my back yard, I have several big oak trees and because of the sahde, my St. Augustine grass had been dead. I put new sods, but it did not work. Is there a special species of St. Augustine that grows well in shade?

I have St Augustine on the southeast side of my house. 15′ -30′ also a 10′-15′ area on other side of fence. It has turned yellow and then died. Tan. It look kike the entire two patches will be gone in a couple of days. Just saw it a couple of days ago. Was planning to sod the entire front yard with St. A sod to replace the very thin sun starved Bermuda. any Ideas what is wrong?

I live outside Houston, Texas. My st. augustine grass is beginning to get yellow tips in spots and yellow patches in other areas.
I fertilized about 4-6 weeks ago with a name brand fertilizer with ant bait mixed in from the manufacturer. Any suggestions?
