St. Augustine care calendar for zone 10

Tropical to subtropical; lawns active 12 months. St. Augustine, bahia, and bermuda are the practical choices. No winter dormancy means no winter rest: mowing, watering, and fertilization continue year-round at reduced intensity. Tropical pests (mole crickets, sod webworm) are constant pressure.

St. Augustine is the dominant lawn grass of the Gulf Coast and Florida, coarse-bladed, lush blue-green, and notably the most shade-tolerant of the warm-season grasses.
