We're currently on a landscape where there was a mixture of St. Augustine and Cashmere grass. We uprooted the whole field, and now we're in the process of laying the new St. Augustine sod. The section where the Cashmere was planted heavily we're planning on spraying with gramazone non-selective herbicide. We're wondering after the chemical is sprayed will the field be ready for topsoil following one week after?
By law the chemical must break down in soil in 14 days.
I would read the label carefully and verify the timeline recommended for planting.
Here is an article with more information.

Is it advisable to dethatch St. Augustine Grass zone 9 . How deep can you go without hurting or completely ripping it up? Any advice for this process would be appreciated. Thanks Cindy
St. Augustinegrass lawns don’t usually have a thatch problem unless they were over-fertilized and were mowed infrequently in the past. Before you dethatch, go out and examine your lawn grass. Is the grass growing on the soil or on a layer of thatch? If the thatch is less than ½ inch thick, you should not dethatch.

I have purchased a new (old) home with predominantly St. Augustine grass. Many of the runners are growing over the top of the surrounding grass and not in the soil. I don't want to cut them off when mowing and would like them to grow in the soil. Any suggestions as to what is causing this and what can be done to correct it?
The runners are supposed to be there in St Augustine. They’re called stolens and that is how St Augustine spreads.
