Can this be used on St Augustine grass?

I am not in Florida so would not know, but would not think it would go through such thick grass. Ask the manufacturer, they will have that answer.I am very happy with results I have got in Tall Fescue grass that we have in California. Works a treat.

Yes it can - I live in FL and have Floratam (a St Augustine variant) You may need to remove every other row of tines as shown in my review. I have used with all tine rows populated, but eventually the motor overheats and shuts down - too much stress on the motor. With every other row used, the motor keeps going and I saw no substantial difference in the amount dead grass pulled up.

probably yes. if there is not to much of it just pull it out by hand. I only put it on the grass.

I use a pump up sprayer and my lawn is Centipede. I was overrun with nut sedge after a hurricane and it took 4 applications to destroy the weed. That was over a year and a half time frame. Just now we are using it once again for a wild violet that blew in during wind gusts. So far one application has withered the outer leaves only I see fresh shoots starting. Unfortunately the day I spayed this area had a cloud burst, where else but over my lawn. I hope someone who has St Augustine will share their findings with you. As far as the Image goes in controlling weeds, I don't use anything else. This product works if directions are followed as stated on label. Scots001.

We used this on the grass and it was perfect. Since we had to secure/anchor it with stakes (we purchased additional larger stakes), to use it on cement I think you'd have to find a substitute for this process.

Sorry, I can't answer your question. It I'd difficult to cut taller grass, but when you cut the grass regularly it works well. We're in Northern NJ, so we don't see a lot of St. Augustine grass.

Iwould be careful most of these products cannot be used on all turf.I use it in the Midwest it works very well also it says not to apply in temps over 80.look and see if you can get the instructions on line.good luck

I don't know if it will work on artificial turf. It works great on brick pavers and concrete picking up large leaves small sticks, sand and dirt.

yes, used it on concrete foundation around house and on around bilko door with no sign of harm to grass.

I don't know. I used it on grass. I was very disappointed. Color was unnatural; it didn't last long before it washed away with a couple of rains. I ended up digging out the dead grass and replanting which worked well and is the way I went again this spring.

Our plugger is not ideal for St. Augustine grass, especially if you're wanting to cut up pieces of sod to plant in your lawn. It does a better job of transplanting St Augustine from one part of your yard to another but because we're never sure what folks are intending to do with the 5-IN-1, we feel better stating that it is not recommended for St Augustine. There are some pluggers which pull a larger plug which is better suited for this particular grass type. They are square and pull one plug at a time. Hope this helps. Thanks, Bill (ProPlugger)

It does not look like St Augustine at all but it should work. We were in S. Fl and put it down in Nov and Dec. It did very well both times, watering nightly. I hope that helps.

I haven't tried it, but I don't think it would work well in an established lawn. It is designed to cultivate and de-weed gardens and needs to penetrate beneath the surface of the soil in order to "work" properly.

I tried many times to use on my St. Augustine. It does not work. The tines get caught and it is impossible to use.

Sorry--I don't know. I used it on many large mulched areas around our home an d it seems to have worked quite well. I have no experience with it on lawn grasses

I read a little further, and it lists a number of warm-season grasses that are tolerant to the product. The list includes St Augustine.

I don't think it would be satisfactory for turf. The unit is mostly plastic and is lightweight. The sweeping brushes are plastic and designed to sweep leaves off the surface of grass. The brushes spin and sweep the leaves into the hopper. But they aren't strong enough or low enough to brush up artificial turf. The unit works best on flat ground. When you try to run it over uneven ground, the brushes hang up on the high parts of turf which leads me to believe that this unit wouldn't do what you are looking for. I would advise getting something heavier and designed for turf.

It's very small I don't think it would work well on grass or gravel. We used it in the house or on black top.
