Isn't there a fairly common grass that prefers shade? That will do ok in Texas. If so I'll get some of that and put that there.

St augustine will typically grow in shade, however if it is pretty dense shade, you may still have some issues. That would require thinning the canopy of the tree (s). Though Zemog may have a different take on it. Post a pic of what you have going on when you get a chance

Bermuda grass should be green from top to bottom, if it turns brown when cut you aren't cutting often enough , it's too tall and you are cutting the stem which isn't getting enough light.

I also put down the Lesco pre-emergent twice a year and it has really helped that as well."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

If anyone has been fighting dallis grass, apparently Round Ups poison ivy treatment kicks the shit out of it. I was treating some poison ivy on my fence and had a dallis patch that was popping up below on the ground. The over spray hit the dallis grass and that shit died in a week. I went and spot treated around some garden beds, where they were large, and knocked those out too. It most definitely will work in spot treatments.

It has taken me 3 years or so to clear out my front yard. The front from the corner of the house to the driveway is looking pretty good. The side yard from the corner of the house to the fence is still full of weeds. My bermuda is finally getting thick and choking stuff out in the front and creeping into the side yard. I'll try and get a new pic after it gets mowed this week. I put down some more fertilizer early this week and it is looking GOOD!Originally posted by LeahBest balls I've had in my mouth in a while.
