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.
Mowing below this rangewill cause a rapid decline in turfhealth and an increase in weeds.Tall fescue and St. Augustine-grass perform best at mowingheights of approximately 3.0inches. Bermudagrass and zoysia-grass perform well at lower mow-ing heights. They can be mown ata height of 1.0 to 2.0 inches witha rotary mower or 0.5 to 1.0inches with a reel mower. Withinspecies, some cultivars toleratelower mowing more than others.In general, finer-bladed cultivarsand species tolerate lowermowing heights.
