Don't know your lawn type in St. augustine, but edges well for my yard in Maryland-works Great!!!-Compares to a gas edger.

I own the ST275 and I cut grass and weeds up to 16" tall with no problem. I have not cut St. Augustine grass though.

Not sure on that grass, but it works great on fescu, Bermuda grass, not great for thick weeds, run time around 45 min, as edging around our place only takes 20.

I don't think it would be satisfactory for turf. The unit is mostly plastic and is lightweight. The sweeping brushes are plastic and designed to sweep leaves off the surface of grass. The brushes spin and sweep the leaves into the hopper. But they aren't strong enough or low enough to brush up artificial turf. The unit works best on flat ground. When you try to run it over uneven ground, the brushes hang up on the high parts of turf which leads me to believe that this unit wouldn't do what you are looking for. I would advise getting something heavier and designed for turf.

No, it works edging between lawn and flower beds. It is an excellent hedge trimmer for ornamental shrubs.

I mainly use this item for edging and I think it works well. The unit rides along the cement as you walk along and clean up your lawn. I haven't used many other brands/styles so it's hard to say how this one stacks up. I feel like I go through a lot of string, but again, I dont have anything to compare to.

I have been using this to remove grass from railroad ties that I use for edging & the string has never broken. Good luck with your project!

Assuming one is using this for edging concrerte sidewalk, it will cut about 3 to 4" deep from the edge of the concrete (adjustable). Bear in mind this is a narrow blade of steel, and will cut a path/grass edge about 1/8" wide. A string edger will cut about 1/2 to 3/4" edge, with some variation. The McLane does have good position control, better than a string edger. The Honda will outlast the B&S; motor!

If you use this stand outdoors you will have to pay attention to wind. Weights would be helpful. You should be fine on level low cut grass.

It would cut tall ornamental grass. We have used it to contain/shape fast growing vines and hedges. Blades so far remain very sharp

Sorry, I can't answer your question. It I'd difficult to cut taller grass, but when you cut the grass regularly it works well. We're in Northern NJ, so we don't see a lot of St. Augustine grass.

Atrazine is a very effective weed killer for St. Augustine grass. Be careful though, it will kill many other grasses. From what I can tell, you can't buy St. Augustine seed, but have to plant sod or plugs.

yes, it is designed for edging along sidewalks, driveways, and flower beds.

I used it on a St. Augustine yard where I needed to clear an area about 4 ft by 15 ft to plant shrubs. It worked well. One word of advice is that it seems to work much better when you go backwards. I had no problem controlling the depth going backwards. Forward seems to skip a lot. I did have to stop once and untangle some of the grass that wrapped around the tiller but I needed a break anyway so it wasn't much of a problem.

I have know idea because we don't know anything about St Augustine grass. We use on Kentucky Blue grass and it does a fantastic job on the crabgrass. We use each year in early spring. I'm sorry that I can't help you further.

So sorry, really don't know. Our yard has thin/sparse grass and lots of oak leaves and this picks up everything real well from leaves to twigs. Since artificial turf is dense, don't know if it would work for you or not.

I used it in Central Kansas, with a Fescue/sawgrass/crabgrass mixed with dandelions. It cut fine. Keeping it short is the key.

We use this to edge all of our flower beds along the grass line. That is what it is for. Edging grass. Also, along the driveway. Works great
