Why Choose St. Augustine Grass?
St. Augustine Grass offers a dense, lush growth that quickly spreads to create a soft and thick lawn. It thrives in warm-weather regions, especially Coastal Virginia, due to its heat and drought tolerance. Additionally, it adapts well to shaded areas, making it an ideal choice for lawns with partial sun. Once established, St. Augustine Grass requires minimal care, with low maintenance and infrequent mowing to keep it looking its best.
How to Install St. Augustine Grass Plugs
Installing St. Augustine Grass plugs is a simple and effective way to create a lush, green lawn. With the right preparation and care, your grass will thrive and spread quickly to fill in the space. Follow these steps to ensure successful installation and healthy growth for your new lawn:
- Prepare the soil by removing weeds, loosening the ground, and improving drainage if needed
- Space the plugs 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for proper spreading and coverage
- Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture during the establishment period
- Fertilize and maintain with a high-quality lawn fertilizer to promote healthy growth
Having the right tools makes the process easier. Be sure you have the items below for optimal results:
- Durable hand trowel – for digging holes to place the plugs.
- Lawn fertilizer – to promote healthy growth and establish strong roots. We love to recommend Jonathan Green or Scotts.
- Watering equipment – such as a hose or sprinkler system to keep the soil consistently moist
- Garden rake – to smooth and level the soil before planting
- Shovel – for loosening and preparing the soil if necessary
- Gloves – to protect your hands while working with soil and plants
