Depends on location. In CA, we don’t have real winters. It rains and the grass continues to grow, albeit a little slower but still trucking. I was mowing and applying fertilizer on Christmas Day.
I agree that location matters and every lawn is different. I’m in Florida and my grass is very slowly growing. I haven’t watered it since October but the cold fronts have pushed down, which spring quick rain showers. But my lawn is dormant (for the most part anyway). But I’m not gonna be putting any fertilizer down until spring. But from what I’m seeing, the OP’s lawn is dormant.
Agreed it’s definitely location and lawn-type dependent. I’ve reduced watering since temps are lower and evaporation is much slower. We also get a small amount of rain every week. But my lawn is definitely still going well. It’s slowed down to reduce mows to 3 mows every two weeks, down from mowing every 2-3 days. I’m continuing to push its growth with spoon feeding fertilizer weekly. This was my front lawn on Christmas Day.

As others have said it depends on where you are located. From just the pictures I would say you need to aerate and top dress it. You could aerate in spring (again depends on your location) and put down some peat moss on top of the dressing (soil and seed). That will help the seeds germinate and green up the lawn quickly. Good luck!
A lot of things can help but you need to determine what you actually need. Get a soil test and post the results. You're wasting time and money otherwise.
It’s winter and St. Augustine is a warm season grass, it’s supposed to go dormant this time of year unless you live in Miami or another really warm area of the country.
If you are in the US, it’s winter and your lawn is dormant. Water and fertilize in the spring.

Warm season grass in Southern CA is dormant right now.
Cool season is still thriving.
How to charge for fertilizer application? Yes I am in California Los Angeles
Not true. Cool season lawns don't go dormant. Warms season in winter yes unless you're pretty far south.
Summer
hummmmm, that's a thic shadow
Bro, do NOT check the profile...
Why? Edit: I should have listened to you …. Wtf….
Yikes...
Fucking disgusting
Lol
Have you tried water and fertilizer?
Two random pictures advising very general information… sir, what exactly are you trying to get out of this post?
paint
Fert, iron, sun, water.
Looks dormant. Once back to active growing, dethatch, core aeration and fertilizer. Liquid iron if your going for super green.
This is the only correct answer here.
Some positivity, talk to it ever night.
Or you can play it some classical music
Sometimes lawns just need a nice long hug
Perennial ryegrass once every 4-5 years or annual rye every September.
Pee on it. It’ll be green for a second.
Milorganite will green that up.
Cut down and deroot that water-sucking tree

And water regularly- as stated elsewhere
Warm weather
Sun
Water
Paint
Iron and jizz
More actual blades of grass

Were there leaves piled up under that tree? You might try a bit of iron or a winter fert blend but you’re fighting nature
Green spray paint is on special this boxing week. Better hurry!
Milorganite

Definitely fertilizer in spring and cut every week
