Jumping in here (thanks to bb88 suggestion)
I moved in here in 2019. There were two large trees on one half the lawn and the grass was St Aug. Half the yard was full sun and half was full shade. The drought last year demolished the St Aug. I just couldnt keep up with watering it enough. And weeds just took over and choked out a ton of the grass. Also due to the drought, theres old tree roots and stumps that I guess were previously cut and ground up that have started coming to the surface.
I hit the whole yard with celsius a month ago, so all the weeds are dead. and its just grass (st aug and bermuda) and dirt)
I had the two bigs tree cut down a couple weeks ago. So now I've got a full sun yard. But saying the yard is unlevel is an vast understatement. I really need to level the whole thing. And I think its too much to just add masonry sand in the low spots. Theres some bad high spots as well.
So here's what I'm thinking.
-I've got access to a tractor with a rotary tiller on the back.
-Run the tiller over the whole thing and try to level it as best I can
-Get some Hancock LaPrima and hit the yard with it and pray for the best
Thoughts?

If you can till that up and level it then that is what I would do. The seed changes so fast. First it was Princess 77, then Arden 15, then LaPrima, then Laprima XD, and last year Royal TXD. I see Royal TXD is out of stock and LaPrima is on sale. Makes me think that something else is about to come down the pipleline.

One of my neighbors just resodded his lawn. One guy knocked it out in a morning and laid the new sod the next day. He used a sod cutter, a ditch witch stand on skid steer, and a trailer.
