I doubt it with St. Augustine, but for certain bermuda grass. St. Augustine
does not send down a root system that deep. Thus, it's a waste on water and not
very drought tolerant.

I remove mine with a pitchfork and while sitting on my behind pull it out. I am
not trying to save fescue. I don't know why one would plant fescue (cool
weather turf) with St. Augustine (warm weather turf) together.

I know of people who have bulldozed land to get rid of it, down to 2ft deep,
then filled with good soil and all new grass's. Only to have six months later to
see that stuff come back!
