Even further north, in Tulsa, we could only keep it alive if it was out of afternoon sun.

I liked it, other than that. I was just just wondering if someone had found or modified one to survive here.

I'm hoping he natural grass takes over. Last year it stayed greenish all year. We just finished building and it was really muddy, so I just bought what was cheap to try and get a little something going. We have black clay here, and man it is some nasty stuff!!

We're aiming to put the house on the market around easter, so Ill just blow that off. Thanks for the reply.

Go ahead and throw out some rye / Bermuda mix that will get you green by Easter and the Bermuda should still come in.

Until it dies?

Or is there fescue that will survive here? Zemog?

It's what we use in heavy shade , still add seed every year to keep lush. It's good until July usually in the sun , as stated with water daily it can go longer.

Wait a few more weeks , after Easter would be good. For Bermuda seed

I'm sure it will die this summer. Very little survives texas heat, unless you are watering it.

We just finished building and put down some fescue seed down about 2 months ago. It has really taken off, and grows about an inch half a day. I damn near have to mow twice a week.

Is now a good time to toss some seed down?

Brand example?

Depot or lowes , weed b gone works fine.
Lesco , Ewing or BWI , trimec southern, celcius or just ask at the store, many options .

Thanks. I guess scalp it tonight and put some stuff on it.

I didn't put pre emergent out and my yard is covered in these weeds. Anything to put out at this point?

The guy that is doing my yard used had a bag of Bayer W&F 3-1 with 6 month weed protection. I was reading the bag as he was working. I had weeds just like that except bigger, he scalped the yard and then put this stuff down, I watered 24 hours later and everything seems to have been killed. I only have a small patch of clover leaf by the street, but other than that this shit works. I looked it up at Lowes and its pretty expensive, but I will be using the summer fertilizer since it seemed to work pretty good.

Any broadleaf weed killer will work great right now , temps are perfect for a good kill.

Brand example?

Does that area of your yard hold water? I have the same type of weeds in areas of my yard that tend to hold water. If that is the case, being that close to your foundation, I'd look at remedying that as soon as possible.

It is actually on a hill away from the house.
