Question: With my lawn condition, should I just do some lawn patching
or do I need to renovate the lawn by killing the whole thing and then
starting over? What would you do?

What's the fastest way to get this lawn back in top shape?



I didn't see an abundance of St. Augustine there- 90% of what you have are
weeds.

IMO the fastest way to get it into top shape would be to kill/remove all the
weeds and resod with a new and improved St. Augustine variety. Then maintain
it with good food and proper watering- not a buttload of chemical
applications from a service needing to justify monthly charges.

You could of course use selective herbicides to kill the weeds and just
nurture along what little St. Augustine you have, but that is in no way fast
and you'll have lots of mud in the interim. St. Augustine is fast, but I
still see it taking at least two years if you do it this way.
