St. Augustine isnt a pasture grass and not as tough as bermuda so if you are going to try and save that you will have to be more careful. If you can leave strips of it it will spread by runners. If you dont cover it over a couple inches or less I have seen it come up thru the dirt too. We have a fertilize spreader that broadcasts seed. It is a three point hookup and runs off the pto. Bermuda seed is a small seed so if your spreader doesnt have a setting small enough then mix the seed with some dry sand, like mortor sand. Corn meal also works good and isnt as heavy. Lots of conpanies make small broadcast spreaders that would work for seed. I have also put tape over part of the hole to restrict the bermuda seed from pouring out to fast. After the seed is out you might use a harrow over it but I have had good luck just seeding and nothing else. Theres some good hyrid bermuda seed out now thats more like you see on golf courses if you not useing the area for pasture. Panama is the one I sell, real fine texture to it. Lots more expensive than common.
