St. Augustine does hold well in fall and tends to hold on well into winter, especially when protected well by layers of leaves. However, it is affected by cold weather, more so the soil temperature. St. Augustine grass goes dormant (fall and winter months when the temperature drops)-it will turn brown and stop growing but will grow again in the spring when the temperature rises. In addition, pest and disease infestation can cause this too. More info would help

I have had again this year a very lush yard but starting in early August, my yard quickly tanked. My yard for most of this year although lush, has had an inordinate amount of brown thatch (brown blades). This condition preceded , not specifically “brown spot” residue which I have dealt with for 3 or 4 years. When I raked (by hand) to clear the thatch build up, the area would very quickly build back-up with thatch. Also. when I raked these spots, I would have an inordinate amount of green grass stems along with the brown stems. I thought my root system was under attack by web worms or the like …. Treated for sod-web-worms. Please advise and I would be glad to provide additional info. thank you
