Hello, lawn enthusiasts!
We have some important news regarding weed control products and your beloved ProVista St. Augustine grass. If you're managing a lawn with this robust variety, understanding these changes can help you maintain a healthy and thriving outdoor space.
 The Change in Glyphosate Use
Â
As of recent updates, Roundup has officially removed glyphosate from their lawn care products and we are now seeing that reflected on the shelves at our local stores. Glyphosate has been a commonly used herbicide for many years, effective in controlling a wide range of weeds. Roundup has transitioned away from this chemical in their lawn care products and replaced it with new chemicals that WILL damage your ProVista.
 What This Means for Your Lawn
Here’s what you need to know:
 Weed Control : While Roundup will no longer include glyphosate in its products, it has replaced glyphosate with chemicals that WILL damage or kill ProVista St Augustine. You may still use other glyphosate-based products on your lawn specifically to tackle unwanted weeds. It’s crucial to follow application guidelines for the best results while protecting your St. Augustine grass.
Â
 Alternative Solutions : With the absence of glyphosate in Roundup products, there are many other glyphosate products to choose from that can still be used. Always check that any alternative you choose is safe for use on ProVista St. Augustine grass.
