Bermuda & Shade

15 years ago

I've read on this forum that Bermuda is not a good shade grass and I've experienced that 1st hand as I have a couple of areas on my half-acre lawn that are partially shaded (oak trees) and the grass is pretty thin. My question is how to improve the thatch in those shade areas or would it be better to replace the sod with another type that is shade tolerant. Those two areas also seem to be the place where Alexander/crabgrass develops the fastest. My irrigation system is balanced in all areas (off now due to summer rains) and I've got TruGreen handling the fertilization/lawn pests now. Would seeding be an option ?
