With more maintenance, St. Augustine can provide a very desirable lawn with a thick, dark green, lush turf capable of crowding out weeds. The mowing height for St. Augustine is 2.5 to 4 inches. Shady lawns should be mowed at 3â to 4â. Generally, the lower you mow it, the more frequently you will have to mow, but the result will be a higher quality turf. St. Augustine grass should NOT be scalped in the spring like other warm season grasses.
