Can you post another picture taken about 3 inches away from the grass. I don't see any St Augustine in those pictures. In 2 years St Augustine should have grown into a very solid mat covering at least 30 feet more than from where it started.

Where do you live? Please name the town or zip code.

Ack I just saw this comment but will try and take a picture tomorrow if it's not completely pouring down rain. The St. Augustine (I think?) in the top picture is the dark green grass under the trees and the clumps in the front yard. The bright green grass I think might be Rye growing over the Bermuda which is dormant right now.

Oh and we live in Los Angeles.

My grass looks just this. Nothing new planted, it just came up this year and won't grown any more than this. I live in Mesa AZ.

gamorris, do you have St Augustine or bermuda?

What is your watering schedule? How often and for how long do you water? When did you get rain last?

How high/low are you mowing?

Have you use any herbicide, insecticide, or fungicide this year? Of so, what and when?

Have you fertilized this year? What did you use and when?
