Why do some people prefer centipede over St. Aug?

Lower mowing frequency, and sethoxodim. Sedges don’t seem to colonize centipede as much. You can kill any weed out of it pretty easily, besides torpedograss. And it’s cheap.

I’d have St. Aug any day over centipede.

I don’t think people prefer centipede over St Aug. Thats just what builders put down. Centipede doesn’t grow as fast and it’s cheaper.

Also centipede grows better in acidic soils, although acidic soils can be easily amended with lime, at not a great cost, to make them more suitable for St Augustine.
