I would probably spend a few more dollars for sod. If you can afford to do the entire thing, fine. Otherwise you could sod the places farthest away from the current St Augustine and let them grow together in the middle. Or you could patch some in like a checkerboard and let it all knit together. Once St Aug is established and rooted, it usually sends runners up to 10 feet per season. You might still get a few feet out of new sod if you do it now. Be sure to roll the sod down for good soil contact and water it like new seed for the first two weeks. It needs that to root.
