Cut today after 2 days of rain.

Is that concrete edging poured in place or did they come in sections you connected together? I want to change my edging out to something similar.

I assume poured in place. They were there when we bought the house.

My lawn was 99% weeds when I moved in summer 2014. Here are then and now pictures.

Image Note that the only St Augustine is under the faucet and behind the potted dead plant.

Here is the now pic from a different angle.

Image The St Augustine is marching out through the weeds. It has grown out about 20 feet to form a dense turf. Beyond that there are runners but they are not dense enough to call a turf yet.

Here is a before and after, side by side comparison of my lawn transformation this year.

Left picture is spring 2017 after weed control, pulling dallisgrass, and killing Poa Annnua.

Right picture taken in June 2017.

I have no idea. I moved into the house in November last year. It is relatively new construction. Just 3 years old. It is definitely sod, but I don't know what cultivar.

Is there anyway to find out?

I think it's a zoysia....don't see any brown below the top canopy. You have neighbors that know what they have exactly? Bermuda isn't very soft and feels much different. Looks great though

Oh no, it is definitely Bermuda. I meant I didn't know what cultivar it is. And I must say, this Bermuda is very soft and plush.

Thanks for the compliment.

Well I got in a pretty bad accident and have been out for about 2 1/2 months my neighbors have been cutting my grass but went from a 1 to a 4 setting. Now that i am back to good health i spent about 6 hours going from the 4 back down to the 1. I need to go get some fertilizer and will be watering it for the next couple of days to help it green up (hopefully). :shock:

My neighbors think im crazy because it was dark green on top but the length was driving me insane!

I thought I would get in on the fun. In April I decided to let my weekly yard crew go and take on this grass stuff myself. When I started I did not know the difference between St. Augustine and Bermuda :sorry:
Slowly but surely I am learning what to do and what not to do. I have a long was to go, but thanks to members on this forum I am gaining ground!!! :yahoo:

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since scalping and every 3 days I have been cutting it still on #1. It is amazing just in 3 days how much growth I get, but its finally greening up!

Thanks for the update. I was wondering how that was going to turn out for you.

Looking good!

Sorry to hear about your accident, and know the frustration of the midsummer scalp. That 5-6" rain in the last week really helped my lawn - I bet yours is looking great by now!!
