1 - Rake the dead areas and get up all the old clippings
2 - Let the grass around the bald area grow, you want it to grow tall enough it starts getting runners, take these runners and put them into the ground of the bald areas.
3 - Raise your mower, at the heat of summer the mower should be on the tallest setting
4 - You can get some St.Augastine plugs and put a couple in the bald areas as well
5 - Throw some ironite and 13-13-13 fertilizer down

You have a bunch of different types of grasses growing where your St. Augustine died out. I see common Bermuda and you can only kill it with round-up. I would kill all these types of grasses first then clean up with a rake till its bare dirt. Next put down some pre- emergent then buy a few blocks of sod and make a bunch of 4 inch by 4 inch plugs then plant about 1ft apart. It will spread out in no time. This is the cheapest way. I've planted thousands of acres of St. Augustine by plugging.

I put in palisades at my old house.
It's amazing grass.
I have emerald at the new house, it's great too.
I'm over Bermuda for a lawn and won't consider st Augustine over most zoysia varieties

Come back in a few weeks and get you some Medina fertilizer (its all organic and won't burn your lawn). It has helped my yard tremendously instead of using the normal weed and feed stuff.
