And thoughts how I can get rid of it? Seems to be crowding out my St. Augustine. Some sort of circular pod. This is in Port A.

Thanks to any that have advice!

Looks like Dollarweed to me.

I use a hose end weed killer for spot spraying weedy areas in my St Augustine.
Ortho & Spectracide are good ones.
Just attach to your water hose. Turn hose on wide open.
The herbicide is metered out with the flow of the hose.

Yep, that is Dollarweed my friend. Our yard in Rockport is covered up with it this year because our lawn guy failed his job.

I put fertilizer down myself in March specifically for it and it looks to have actually made it worse. Lol. So, I apparently failed too.

Trying again next week to kill a third time.

I have used a version of round up that specifically targets the dollar weed. Green cap and picture of dollar weed and safe for st. Augustine grass. Can purchase at lowes.
