But the most important questions are: - where are you located? - how much sun does your yard get? Did you have a certain grass type in mind? Seeding as opposed to sodding will limit you.


Birmingham, AL.

Not a lot of sunlight, no. Sun travels behind the house and we’re on a hill with trees in the backyard. There’s also two large water oaks in the front.

Don’t care about what kind of grass. The grass that’s thriving looks to be zoysia and bermuda.

I’m not looking for a presentation yard. Just something for the kids to play on that isn’t mostly dirt and roots.

You’ll need a minimum of 6 hrs of direct sun for Bermuda. Otherwise you’ll waste money on seed.
Eight is better.

Zoysia unfortunately is not easy to seed at all.

Thus leaving centipede??
Does Fescue work in northern AL?
I really don’t know

I’m going to now say that you’re gonna love either an SPF 30 KBG or a TTTF/SPF mix called Combat Extreme (transitional or southern zone).
