Pick up a book or publication on St. Augustinegrass (or St. Augustine Grass) and you will read ‘well drained soils’ as an important factor to this grass type. So, how do you know if your soil is well drained??  Our book will help you.  This chapter will open up a new perspective and illustrate what is going on beneath the surface. The start to a Bulletproof Lawn lies beneath the surface. Learn about critical factors such as compaction, aeration, infiltration and the ‘river of water’.

Water flows much faster through sand than clay. This makes design considerations very important as it impacts the infiltration process of water into soil. Chapter two explains how decks, flowerbeds, driveways and sidewalks can effect your lawns health and appearance.
