Bahiagrass Lawn Care Plan
Bahiagrass is a warm-season turf that thrives in heat but needs precise timing for pre-emergent applications and fertilization. Professional results come from matching applications to soil temperature, not calendar dates.
What to Do This Month (October)
Fertilization
Fall potassium application for winter hardiness.

Fertilization
Reduced-nitrogen fall feeding — Centipede requires dramatically less nitrogen than Bermuda or Zoysia, especially heading into fall.

Fertilization
Fall feeding following St. Augustine’s own guidance — its fall nitrogen and potassium needs differ from Bermuda and Zoysia.
— The Andersons
Cleanup
Keep mowing until growth stops, and remove fallen leaves so they don’t smother the still-green turf.
