I have a large patch (4ft x 20ft) of what appears to be dead St. Augustine grass. It pulls up easily and exposes the dirt.
I’ve been concentrating more water on the spot, but it seems to keep growing.
I did leave the water on all night one time in that spot. I hadn’t noticed a problem before that. Did I over water? Could it be from my dog? Pests? Disease?
Is there any hope?

Maybe it’s fungus? Go to the animal feed store and get a cheap bag of ordinary corn meal and spread 20lbs per 1000sqft. Also, get a bag of good quality compost – so far I think Living Earth’s organic compost is good one at Lowes. It’s black stuff. I’ve bought others and they seemed to be too sandy. Hopefully, that will work. Go over to gardenweb.com where you’ll get better help than here.

with that much water, you probaly have algae , and other fungus’
can scrap it and resod that are, or go through a cocktail of fingicides, esticied and fert, to bring it back,
if you resod, make sure its not a low spot
