I assume your grass is still dormant. I don't do anything. I have no weeds growing in mine. I'm not a big fan of pre-emergent herbicides. If you have trees in your yard, it can possibly damage them. If you have a ton of weeds, a healthy lawn is the best way to get rid of them. Healthy St. Augustine will choke out weeds.
Keys are dethatch, fertilize, water, fertilizer, raise your blades, water, water, water.

THIS! Everyone I know scalps their yard and wants to know why they have so many weeds... the St. Aug will choke out those weeds if you let it get 3 or so inches tall.

Just sprayed to kill clover. I'm going to de-thatch in March and fertilize a few times after. Going to hire a lawn service after that. I'm tired of sweating my arse off

Thanks, I raised my blades an inch or two half way through the season last year and it really made a difference. I do have a lot of weeds right now though. I'll have to do some research on thatching. (this is only my second year having a lawn)
