Best time to seed St. Augustine?

Posted by jcalhoun 8b Mobile County AL (My Page) on

I'm on the Alabama Gulf Coast, zone 8b.

This year I had several trees removed from the back yard and filled in a lot of low areas with cheap top soil. The yard still has several large bare spots that has not covered with grass yet. I would like to put out some St. Augustine seeds on the bare areas but need to know when is the best time to do it?

Also, should I fertilize the bare areas before seeding or after?

I'm not in any way an expert, just a disclaimer. St Augustine doesn't put out a seed, you're going to have to sod or sprig it. The fertilizer question is best left to experts :)

I'm not a warm season guy, but I think most work with warm season lawn is done right before summer and during the summer.

Did you get seed?

You'll be able to find St Augustine seed right next to the Unicorn food. ie, don't bother looking for it.
