Sola® St. Augustine

Mow your Sola at a height of 2 inches for the first mow of the spring. Keep your lawn mowed between 2–2.5 inches for the remainder of spring.

Don't overwater. In the active growing season, Sola needs about one inch of water per week from natural rainfall or irrigation.

For optimal results, feed your lawn during the spring season by applying the Lawnifi Spring Fertilizer Box or Lawnifi Foundation.

Apply a pre-emergent herbicide in the spring to prevent summer weeds. Use a post-emergent herbicide to treat any current weeds.

Apply a broad-spectrum insecticide to prevent spring insects from appearing or to control any current spring insects like chinch bugs or white grubs.

Apply a systemic fungicide at a preventive rate to keep disease from taking hold of your lawn. If you see circular patches of brown or dead grass, do not apply fertilizer until you've applied a systemic fungicide at a curative rate and your grass has recovered.

Sola mowing heights during the summer range from about 2–2.5 inches. When mowing during the summer, never remove more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at a time.

Do not overwater the grass. Sola only needs about one inch of water weekly. Water for longer periods of time, less frequently and in the early morning hours.

For optimal results, feed your lawn during the summer season by applying the Lawnifi Summer Fertilizer Box or Lawnifi Foundation.

It is not recommended that you apply an herbicide at this time. Once temperatures exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit, the herbicide will damage the grass.

Watch out for chinch bugs, grub worms, mole crickets, sod webworms, fall armyworms and nematodes. Apply a broad-spectrum insecticide to prevent or treat any insects.

Apply a systemic fungicide if needed.

During the fall, mowing will occur less often—keeping your Sola slightly higher will encourage deeper root growth for winter.

Water less as temperatures drop—too much water will lead to disease.

For optimal results, feed your lawn during the fall season by applying the Lawnifi Fall Fertilizer Box or Lawnifi Foundation.

Apply pre-emergent herbicides to control winter weeds. Apply post-emergent herbicides only when weeds are present.

Check for and control any sod webworms, fall armyworms or white grubs. Treat with an insecticide if needed.

It is recommended you apply a fungicide at preventative rates, as this will help the grass enter colder months in a healthier condition. If you see circular patches of brown or dead grass, do not apply fertilizer until you've applied a systemic fungicide at a curative rate and your grass has recovered.
