I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and since our grass goes dormant every "winter," I normally to a semi-scalp on St. Augustine to get rid of the dead material on the top. It helps to make sure whatever I apply to the lawn in the Spring actually makes it to the soil. It also helps my lawn green up and fill in sooner than those who don't do it. With about 10K sq ft of turf, I generated 33 large garbage bags of dead material this year.

The first time I scalped my zoyia at my old house I did it in the back yard. It was prickly and looked terrible for a couple of months, but it came back after a few months and looked better than ever. The next two years before I moved out of there, I did the front lawn too. It does help give it a "reset."

I've pretty much followed the same steps with my Zoysia as you do for years but with one difference, I bagged all the clippings as I was always under the impression that there really isn't any nitrogen in the legs correct me if I'm wrong. Probably 95% of clippings was legs, hardly any green, if any, I normally get about 25-30 39gal bags packed full.

I have just started to clean up the leaves on the grass. I am going to mulch them in and then roll some lime on it. All I have done so far is roll a little 5-10-10 on it. We got plenty of rain this winter. I have not cranked up my mower since October. I have it set on 4, right now, and will drop it down to three to mow up the leaves. I do not like to cut below 3, because I have dips and high spots and foot stones that I could hit.

GREAT VID. I grew up in Hawaii, used to live in Vegas and now live in Thailand. So I've been thru a few different climate zones to say the least. I watch your vids regularly and have learned so much. I want to do this as my lawn is a bit overgrown right now with those long brown legs. I need to do it soon as we are about to enter our rainy season. We can get dumped on at an astonishing rate that will turn my 1/2 acre into a lake in less than an hour. And that can go on for days. So if I don't get ahead of it now the grass can get so tall I'll have to start looking for the VC hiding in it. 😂😂 BTW looks like you forgot to add that hours per day link. Bless ya brutha!

bag it and compost it, then when it's ready you put it back on your lawn/garden. Scalping without bagging is extra work.

Last year I had a bipolar depressive episode and I had let the Bermuda grow so long that it was probably 4" above soil and had seed shoots. By that point, the nice grass blades were above the 1-2" mark and everything below was browned vegetation and the thick twig-like stolons/runners. I scalped it midsummer to get it back to a proper height. It looked like hell for a week or 2. I fertilized it heavy and watered a bit more each time. Gave it a mid-evening syringe as well (it was 110°). It came back great. Bermuda is like the guy who can't refuse a challenge even if it's nearly impossible. "Hey Josh, did you hear that David sold 150 cars last month? He worked every single day with no off time, normal shift. I bet nobody can beat that. Guy's a beast." So then Josh works every day, open to close, and spends $5,000 of his own money to buy a billboard for a month with his face and name on it to draw in a ton of customers and he sells 175 cars that month. 🤣

Hey Allen, I'm a bit confused on when to start this process. In the beginning of the video you said to get started when your lawn is 2-3 weeks away from when it's starting to grow which is 12-12.5 hours of daylight (1:16 mark). But right after, you said when it gets to 12-12.5 hours of daylight, to start this process (1:36 mark). So, when should I start? 2-3 weeks before the long days start or right when the long days start? I'm in the panhandle here so the long days should be kicking in the 2nd half of March I believe. Thanks!

I gather (due to not mentioning it) there's no need to scalp your St Augustine at the start of the season?

so, a few questions. I plugged my front lawn with amazoy zoysia. The plugs took real well and im about 60% zoy that is taking over a salad bar fescue/rye. I live in the people republic of northern Illinois. My length of day to do this would be late march, but I know the soil temp wont be enough for the zoy to wake up yet. Do I hold off on the fert? Would you think I should hold off for a better soil temp, or would the act of cutting it back make my soil temp?

When do you drop top spoil on? I live in a part of Austin Texas that has a limestone and clay mixture for soil and has been challenging for my grass.

yes, take it down to at least 1" so you can make sure to reset the height for the season.

I am in North Central Florida and have Zoysia. I already have a good amount of weeds but would like to scalp and maybe even level a bit. Two questions: 1) Should I spray a post-emergent like Image for Southern Lawns before scalping or just go ahead and scalp and put down a post-emergent? 2) Is it too late to start scalping and leveling? If my understanding is correct, it seems like it would have been better to start 3-4 weeks ago but now is fine. I read through all of the comments and tried searching but wasn't really finding a clear answer so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're good to go scalp now. Just be sure you're able to irrigate well. We have been really dry. For the weeds, don't spray those now. See what grows back after the Scalp and spray then. Have fun !!
