Nut Grass In Lawn

Question

When we moved in to our house the lawn seemed to be green and nice. Now we have one area in our side yard that has been taken over by nut grass. It gets in the flower beds and I have tried pulling, and my dad always said you have to get the “nut” to kill it. Well there is just too much in the lawn though. How do I get rid of this and what do I do to get my saint augustine grass to grow there again. I am in Shiner Texas.
