For best results, a St. Augustine lawn should be 4″ AFTER it is cut. Cutting the grass at a higher level will allow the grass to grow thicker and help keep weeds out. Cutting St. Augustine grass too low can lead to stress spots and weed infestation. It is also important to have sharp mower blades. Changing your mowing patterns will also help the appearance of your lawn.
