ProVista St. Augustine Sod: Key Features and Care Guidelines
ProVista St. Augustine sod is a versatile grass variety, ideal for various applications such as golf courses, commercial properties, and home lawns. It has a recommended mowing height of 2.5 to 3.5 inches, which helps maintain its health and lush appearance. With a blade width of 8-9 mm, ProVista offers a dense, attractive lawn that is both visually appealing and durable. Its wear tolerance is moderate, but it boasts excellent injury recovery, making it a resilient choice for high-traffic areas. Additionally, ProVista has good shade and drought tolerance, allowing it to thrive in a variety of environmental conditions.
Fertilization
Proper fertilization is key to maintaining the health and quality of your ProVista lawn. Regular fertilization enhances the grass’s resilience, reducing its susceptibility to weeds, pests, and diseases. The first fertilizer application should be done in early April, once the lawn starts greening in the spring. In Central Florida, fertilize ProVista three times per year during the growing season, but avoid applying nitrogen too early in the spring or late in the year when growth slows down, as this can stress the grass and make it more vulnerable to frost damage.
Mowing
To keep your ProVista St. Augustine lawn looking its best, mowing is essential. During the active growing season, you can mow every 10 to 12 days. Maintaining a height of 3.5 inches promotes a healthy root system, which in turn improves the grass’s resistance to pests, diseases, and drought. Avoid cutting the grass too short, as this can weaken the sod and make it more susceptible to stress. Consistent mowing at the correct height encourages long-term vitality and a thicker, greener lawn.
Watering
Once established, ProVista requires watering as needed, especially during extended dry periods. It is a drought-tolerant grass, meaning it can endure dry conditions by going dormant, turning brown, and halting growth. When the leaf blades begin to wilt or turn a bluish-gray, it’s time to water. For optimal results, apply 0.5 to 0.75 inches of water per session to ensure the roots receive adequate hydration. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can weaken the sod and promote weed growth. During drought conditions, avoid mowing, fertilizing, or using pesticides to prevent unnecessary stress on the lawn.
