I recently bought a house in Austin and I have a not so well
maintained Saint Augustine lawn with few dead grass spots. Apparently
no seeds are available for Saint Augustine. Any idea where I can buy
small plugs (3x3) in Austin?
Thanks

If you've got good St. Augie elsewhere on the lawn you can make your
own plugs with a sharp spade, just take a few small squares from spots
not visible from the street. The stuff regenerates quickly so the
divots you make will disappear in a week or two.

They make a tool that does exactly that job for cutting out a plug. Can
also be used to make the hole to drop the plug into.
