Author	Topic:   laying new st. augustine sod
craigeast Friend	posted 02 April 2009 15:59             My lawn was severely damaged by chinch bugs and now I need to replace it all with new sod. I was wondering if it was necessary for me to remove the old sod because this is extremely expensive. Can I just kill the old grass and till it then place the new sod on top. IP: Logged
