With increasing temperatures comes greater stress on our “St Augustine” lawns.
Our irrigation system is programmed to run 2x a week for a maximum 15-19 mins (at best). Many factors impact irrigation days and the amount of time water is delivered such as water table levels, previous rain, drought (where water restriction is enacted), etc. We as a community (nor Down To Earth) have “NO” control on the amount of water delivered via irrigation.
Like all lawn turf, St Augustine requires adequate water to remain healthy and green.
When not enough water is being delivered “HOT SPOTS” (browning dying areas) can result. With the warmer weather, HOT SPOTS are starting to show up intermittently around Devonshire. Lawn areas where the soil has depleted over the years…becoming more sandy are most suceptable…adding some compost to these areas can help…but “SUPPLEMENTAL WATERING” is recommended.
Hand watering – especially hot spots – can help reduce drought damage. Spritzing a lawn during the heat of the day will cool down the lawn and add humidity. Soaking hot spots will bring life back to withered dying grass. Note: Watering during the day does not damage your lawn – it helps your lawn.
Trust this is helpful.
