Any landscapers/expert gardeners?

I have questions about lawn care for a 1/2 St Augustine 1/2 Bahia lawn. The people who we bought our house from were replacing the Bahia with St Augustine plugs and sod as it was turning brown. My husband says its too late in the season to use fertilizer. The first day in the house, I ran over a sprinkler head so the grass didn't get watered for a week until my husband bought a replacement so I have a large brown patch right in front. I planted some plugs and water every day but don't really know what I am doing. Help!!!

Hi Suzanne Welcome to the Dis F&G Forum. Sorry to say I know very little about grass, especially Florida grass. I do know mine needs mowing too often.

I'm sure one of the buds here may be able to help, if not I hope you continue to visit this forum. We are a fun bunch of buds who love new blooms.

Hi Suzanne! :)

I'm not sure if you'll be able to revive the brown patch or not.

Here are a couple of links with info that might help you out.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes Suzanne. :)
