In the heat of the summer, it is going to brown, right?


No, it should be fine given the amount of shade cooling things off. It will stay green through the winter as well when others are dormant.

And don't you have to aerate and overseed every year?


Aeration is good for any lawn type. Fescue doesn't spread like Bermuda, Zoysia, or St Aug so you will have to seed if you have bare spots or if it thins out.

So in a shady environment, it's basically a guarantee it will need to be overseeded annually?
