how do i fix this hole in my yard?

[KCHAR]

last year in september I hired a lawn guy to come kill the weeds in my yard. Well he killed the weeds alright, and after a while i noticed this area that didnt come back. Here is a picture, any suggestions on what to do to get this area to grow back? FYI I had st. augustine put in on the other side of the yard, may just throw a few pieces in the bald area and let it be.

I would take some plugs from the good part of the lawn and put them in the bald area. It should take root and fill the holes.

spread a couple bags of that Scott's lawn soil & a couple squares of grass, water & your good to go.

You could dig it up and put in a flower bed.

One, St. Augustine does not too well in direct sun light. It needs to be in the shade for some part of the day. Judging from the picture, you could try it but I wouldn't get my hopes up. What type of weed killer did this person use? One thing that I would try to do is add some fertilizer, follow bag instruction for the dispersion rate, and would water and cut the lawn more frequently. It's a little hard to tell if you have a fungus growing in the grass, but if it is I would add some fungicide and cut down on the watering, how much do you water right now? Another questions is if you water, when do you water? If you water just before dark or in the middle of the night then there is a very good chance that you have a fungus. It is always best to water first light or about an hour or two before it gets dark. Hope this is helpful.

the bed idea would be good, you could also do a shrub area, maybe a concrete elephant, jk about the elephant
