Hello all. I have spent two nights and about 6 hours online trying to figure out what to do here. Situation...Leveled a 129' X 30' area of my half acre back yard. I layed 8 dump trucks of select fill in one concentrated area of the yard following my fence line. This area was holding water for about a month after rain. The area is also mostly under a tree canopy that lets it get about 4 hours of sun a day. The yard is Saint Augistine, (it did not do well in the deep shade). My latest plan is to lay white clover mixed with a grass seed of sorts in the shaded fence line area then lay some sod in the area that gets a bit more sun (further from the fence line)

I am also interested in using the same deep shade combo on the other fence line that is deep shade too. Now remember this is a half acre, really need a seeded combo.

Please help stop the headaches! Not much of a green thumb! Thanks in advance.
