We have used Ferti-lome Gallery on St. Augustine in Charleston, SC for several years. It was affordable but no longer is. The 10 lb. bag treats a much smaller area than suggested. Because of the very high cost now for treatment of such a small area per 10 lb. bag ($45) we are making a change. Is Snapshot DG a good alternative? It is a larger bag 25 lb. bag ($68), appears more affordable and understand it lasts 8 months. We have used Surflan at times but is no longer available.
Snapshot DG Herbicide is not labeled for use on turfgrass at all and would not be safe to apply. Ferti-lome with Gallery would be a better option depending on the target weeds. Anything with Dithiopyr is also great to use in the spring and there are granule options. View our St. Augustine Lawn Guide for more information.
