We own home that we rent out that is having a heck of a time with the yard--Bermuda was original grass and I think it was hydromulched in front when house was built 25 yrs ago--

I know that we got grass on pallets and did the back ourselves--at least beyond say 10 ft past the back deck

in the last few years in one area under an oak tree the shade has really thinned the Bermuda out....we had part of it resodded about a year ago when we were moving out and getting ready to put it on the market to sell--

then decided to rent house to our son...

now the rest of the yard is just turning to crap--

we have had plenty of rain over the winter and I put out pre-emergent this past fall which did no good apparently

we have done fertilizer with broadleaf weed killer this spring but is just more weed than lawn--seems like trying to reclaim it is pointless...

our son works some irregular hours and to be honest is not really into gardening--so we need something that does not require lot of maintenance...

In the front there is shade from an oak tree and on the front side there are two large pecans--under then we have large bed of Asian jasmine and St. Augustine

but it is so difficult to run two different grass types in same yard

now my husband wants to take out the Bermuda and resod it all w/St Augustine...

does anyone have recommendation for grass company in the DFW area to give us some bids on the work...

I know that killing it with Roundup and tilling and hydromulching would probably be cheaper--but we want something down and growing ...

one of our neighbors is really getting on our case with "helpful" calls to tell us the grass is in bad shape...
