Long story short: I moved from SWLA where the St. Aug thrives in the former rice fields to north LA where the iron ore seems to thrive. When I moved in the back yard had one patch of grass due to the drought, a shop being built, and a load of sand brought in. It looks to be St Augustine and is starting to spread. The front yard was patchy but overall green. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time.

Have been mowing everything like I typically would St Augustine but now I have patches in the front that have turned a blueish color and spots look to be dying back. The blades also appear to be thinner.

Looking for a bit of direction.

Back yard:


Front yard:

Just can’t tell with the bottom two.
Pull as long of a stolon/runner as you can and get close for a picture of it.

I’d think some type of Zoysia.
Doesn’t look like common Bermuda or Centipede.

Water the yard. Second and third pics show signs of drought stress. First is st Aug with grey leaf spot.

The 7 pines that need to be cut down probably attribute to the drought stress. Any idea on the grass type?
