Best Grass in San Diego/El Cajon

We recently moved to southern california from another state. Our backyard is totally blank! It is decomposed granite. I put down some marathon seed a while back and have SOME grass in one area… not completely covered, just patches. I wonder if bermuda would be better for our yard??? Anyone have any good ideas? We do have dogs but they are house dogs and not outside alot. Soure would appreciate some advice! I really want grass!!!!

I forgot to mention… we are east San Diego County…. temps get to 100 in the hottest part of summer.

I would go with Zoysia. It is well adapted for the southern california area. Here is an article written about El Toro, but I am sure any of the zoysias would work fine in the hotter climate you have there.
