That freeze nuked my centipede

Was nice green grass without any fertilizer before. Now brown
St. Aug was unbothered
Water it a lot now?
Should I bag the brown grass when cutting it or not?

Same here, mine was starting to green up nicely. The st aug took a hard hit as well. I have a few patches of zoysia that didn't get phased.

The freeze thankfully nuked all of the nutsedge I constantly fight, but I’m sure that’ll green up by the weekend as well

I’m considering letting my yard go 100% nutsedge and just cutting it every other day.

Ohhhh hellllllll no don’t water it a lot now. Wanna know how to get dirt? Overwater stressed grass, that’s how you get dirt.
You can bag to pick up the dead stuff.

Great time to tell what variety of grass you have.
Centipede is orange after this last cold snap.

Yep, this helped me make the determination, haha.

I spent 2 weeks a couple hundred bucks getting my grass good and it all brown now.

If you’re St. Augustine was unbothered, your Centipede is unbothered because it is more cold tolerant than St. Augustine. It might have gone into dormancy, but it’ll be back.

All over town, frontyards are brown....

This is not accurate

I think the brown yards have to do with lack of rain (until tonight) and warm temps. My yard holds water well and it’s bone dry.

My centipede has greened up a lot this past week
May mow tomorrow

Centipedegrass

Centipedegrass is native to China and southeast Asia. It was first introduced into the United States in 1916 from seed collected by Frank N. Meyer in South China. Centipedegrass has since become widely grown in the southeastern United States from S. Carolina to Florida and westward along the Gulf Coast states to Texas.
Its popularity as a lawn grass stems from its adaptation to low fertility conditions and its low maintenance requirements. Where centipedegrass is adapted and properly managed, it has few serious pest problems. It is particularly well adapted to the sandy, acid soils of the southeastern United States. Its westward movement is somewhat limited by severe iron deficiencies that develop in the alkaline soils of the arid regions. And, its northward movement is restricted by low temperatures. Centipedegrass is slightly more cold tolerant than St. Augustine grass, but extended periods of 5°F or less can kill centipedegrass.
