I lived in Florida for seven years with St Augustine and hated it. It
usually goes dormant every winter at least in northern FL. Where do you
live? Sounds like you are drowning it to death. If it is just dormant it
will come back in the spring (usually). If you live in a part of the
country that support other grasses, why not switch. Have you talked to a
local Lawn and Garden center for advice?

it's winter time, and i noticed that my lawn is scorched. It's a St.
Augustine lawn. The grass blades are completely brown. This occurs
Not just on little patches, but the
entire lawn is scorched. I just applied Scotts Turfbuilder about a
month ago and from what I read, I should not apply too much every week.
The lawn gets water once every day about 530 am.

What are some good solutions to bring the lawn back to its green color
again?
