I have had my yard resodded 4 times since I have lived in my house. Each time I would hire a professional lawn care company. First time it was A-1 Professional , 2nd time it was Scotts lawn care service. The 3rd time it was Tru Green here in Fl. They all have killed my sod and most of them would barely spray anythnig on the lawn. I would work from home on occassions and see them and bring it to their attention with no luck. This last time I gave up and resodded again in July and want to take care of it myself.

I seen Grubworms while resodding and put down Ortho MAX bug spray killer down along with Talstar P with an Ortho sprayer.

I now have some weeds that I need to kill. Can someone give me advice out theyre who knows St. Augustine.

I have St. Augustine at home and a couple yards I mow, I usually put down a pr emergent around this time, but really don't see the effects until spring......I have small spots of what appear to be a form of clover on your first picture, and end up pulling it by hand...2nd pic no idea.........I'll let someone in your neck of the woods give you a better answer.....:)

I have the same weeds in my St. Augustine, and they only popped up within the last month, but are spreading like wildfire.

But down Scott's (some kind) about 6 weeks ago, and the weeds popped up AFTER that.

Please post if you find a solution, OP.
