How is Bermuda with water? Less watering than St Aug? Easier to maintain?
How do I re sod? Roundup everything living in my yard and then throw sod down or am I going to have to dig everything up? I'm in Dallas and have a large lot so not looking forward to this? How much is a pallet of Bermuda btw?

If you’re patient you could also seed. Great time of year for that. You’d still have to prep your yard and removed the st Aug but a bag of seed will cost very little vs a truck of sod.

When Ronk speaks, you listen. Especially if you’re in the DFW area. He’ll be back shortly to spread his knowledge.

Bermuda requires less water than St Aug and is drought tolerant. Bermuda can be as easy or as hard as you want to make it. It really doesn't die so you don't have to do anything to it. That being said neighbors aren't going to stop by and ask what you are doing for your lawn if thats your thing. It does love fert and frequent mowing. That will improve color and density of the lawn.
You can round up and rake off all the dead or you can rent a sod cutter. I haven't bought sod from Miller yet this year but I'd guess that a pallet will be between $260-280. It would cover 550 feet.
You can go the seed route with bermuda but as mentioned it will take prep work or it won't work.

If you want low maintenance bermuda (low fertilizer and mowing needs), check Trinity Turf in Pilot Point for “Tifton 10” (not Texturf 10). If you need a “utility” lawn, this is it. Get a pallet and it’ll spread quickly.
Any other bermuda, it’ll need more mowing and fertilizer than st aug.
But if you have even dappled shade, forget bermuda.
