I have St. Augustine and hate it. Looks like we will eventually need to look into making a switch because it could get wiped out:

I replaced our front lawn (St. Augustine to St. Augustine) 2 years ago and it very well may have had that disease before I replaced it, meaning it will return. Right now, my lawn looks far better than all my neighbors. I handle pest control, fertilizing and weed control myself. Someone else cuts it. Even if it doesn't have this disease now, it probably will get it from the lawn guys spreading it around.
