How can one kill St. Augustine grass? My neoghbour has St. Augustine grass which is infiltraing my lawn of Bermuda grass. *********** 1st - any number of weed and grass killers can eliminate st aug, some fertilizers as well. Spray the invading with your choice, just ask a local nursery. 2nd - use your edger to cut a line between you and your neighbors lawn, this will weaken the st aug runners and cause it to die. 3rd - use a tine rake and rake out the st aug runner from your grass, so that it won't try to take up root. Once out, overseed with more bermuda, as it will choke out the st aug after a few years, (if in direct sun) -- st aug will overtake in shady areas good luck |

I suspect the neighbor is having even more trouble with bermuda getting
into their lawn as it seeds and they blow, and the runners sneak below the St A., attach harder to the soil and are quite difficult to remove with a crown that has to be dug rather than pulled. St Augustine is easily edged - a gas model edger is easier if its a distance from an electric outlet. And the grass pulls out easily Bermuda is harder because it can travel deep underground- so you night need one with a bit larger blade. |
