My front and back yards were a mix of centipede and st aug when I bought my house. Last year ALL of the centipede was coming out of dormancy when that late frost hit. It all died, like bare dirt dead. I got a few hundred celebration bermuda plugs from my dad's yard while he was gone for vacation and plugged them where the centipede was. It's awesome stuff. Less maintenance, better drought tolerance, I can treat it and not worry about it taking a month to recover. It's slowly pushing the st aug out. I'm tempted to round up the st aug and plug more of it.

Centipede only does good in my flower beds. I don't have the best drainage, so it sucks. I did a few test patches of zyosia that my neighbor had remnants of from a sod job and they are doing quite well. I'll probably move to that. I think its Palisades or Empire (if that's a strand?).
