If you have St. Augustine grass in your lawn and live in North Texas you might have noticed some bare areas in your yard this year. You have watered, you have fertilized, you may have even thatched the grass but still those spots will not fill in. Your initial instinct might be lawn pests such as grubs or other grass destroying insects. It is likely that your problem is not a result of pests but rather disease that is causing the decay of the grass roots. To be more specific, your yard probably has a fungus. One potential culprit of this fungus could be the prolonged exposure of our grasses in North Texas to snow and low temperatures.
So you might wonder how to fix this problem. The best solution is to take time to care for your lawn. In those bare areas it is recommended that you take peat moss, which can be purchased at your local home improvement store, break it down into fine texture, and apply to those spots.
