Ok so i want a green lawn again. basically all the grass in the backyard is dead. its not only dead but starting to turn into just large spots of just dirt. it use to be st. augustine. i would like to sod the entire thing from scratch. what exactly do i need to do? what kind of grass, i hear bermuda is good in the heat and easier on the pocket. so then what type of bermuda? basically i need all the details from being to end. specific details would be greatly appreciated since i’ve never done this before.

You need to answer several questions first. The biggest one being, how much sunlight does the area in question get a day? And are there any parts of the yard that are in shade all day? Secondly, is the area going to be used heavily? Children playing? dogs? Thirdly, do you have an irrigation system?
