"They abandoned mid job and got me to give additional money before they abandoned. Without telling me they were leaving I have been paying contractors over a tear to do what they were contacted to do "

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.

If you apply too much fertilizer to your grass, it can take about three weeks to recover. If you still have dead patches after three weeks, it might be time to remove the dead grass and overseed the affected area. Since overfertilizing can also cause problems with fungus, leading to further damage to the grass, monitor your grass color and growth for one month after over fertilizing.

A quick search online may recommend that you give your dog apple cider vinegar to help decrease the pH level of your dog’s urine. This method won’t help your yard, though. Most turf grasses thrive on slightly acidic soil, so apple cider vinegar won’t make much of a difference. 

The main cause of grass death by dog urine isn’t the pH level anyway—it’s usually the excessive amount of nitrogen that kills your grass.

Sugar is good for plants, despite limiting nitrogen absorption. However, the sugar that is healthy for plants is typically the same sugar created by plants as part of photosynthesis. In other words, table sugar is not good or bad for plants on its own, just keep track of nitrogen levels in the soil. But don’t worry, sugar won’t kill your grass.

Sulfur is a secondary nutrient that helps grass grow lush and green. It combines  primary nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Sulfur helps the grass absorb nutrients to create a lush, green appearance. While sulfur isn’t necessary for every lawn, it can help most lawns be stronger and greener.
