Hey mate, I got you covered. There are many different types of shade tolerant turfs that are available. They are even working on new breeds right now. ItÂs incredible what you can do with just a little initiative.

The most resilient turf type I can think of is Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo. Palmetto has a really high tolerance against shady areas. It actually has a high tolerance towards pretty much any of the elements. It is a bit on the expensive side, but well worth the cost.

There are other varieties that hold up well to the shade too. You can check them out at www.hanceysturf.com.au/

Good luck friend,

Johnny

ill check that out. im not gonna be putting down a whole lot. thought about buying some plugs of palmetto and seeing if it grows or not. if it does then great if not, no biggie im not out that much money. and if it grows, it should spread and fill in. i mean there is already grass growing in that are just not a whole lot. like i said im in the process if sodding more bermuda. i want to just let them two battle it out in that area so that i wont have any bare spots in the yard

i dont think that i could afford to get that stuff sent from australlia. although it looks nice i think that palmetto prolly be the best.

rtr--What they call buffalo grass in Australia is what we call St Augustine grass here in the US. I don't know specific varieties because I have cool season grass, but I do know that when we say buffalo grass here, we mean buchloe dactyloides, but in Australia, they mean Stenotaphrum secundatum. I'm pretty sure palmetto is available in the US.
