St. Augustine died from Round Up

Okay so I was trying to be smart and sprayed St. Augustine grass along the fence line. Needless to say it looks terrible and I have killed my neighbors grass along the fence also (chain link fence). I didn’t think to use a board so it wouldn’t get in her lawn. It didn’t even seem like I was spraying that much. So please tell me in great detail how in the world I can get it to grow back! I’m so worried my neighbor is going to be mad!!!I am in southeast Texas Houston area.

– Rake up any dead grass (Floratam does not like growing over dead Floratam)- Water it 3 x per week about 3/4 inch per time- Mix up a tank of miracle grow and spray the grass beside the fence 2 x times per week. Might want to mix it about 1.5 times regular strength.

Wait. Be patient. It is grass and it will grow back. But it will not immediately reappear.

Sorry pal, you killed it, guess you know by now “Miricale” Grow is only a name! When using Round up even the slightest breath of spray kills if on a leaf blade surface. Always run and edger first to give nice and even kill or bed line. Better plug neighbors side so as not to set a bad situation.
