Help a lawn newbie

I’m looking to redo my front lawn and I’m having a tough time deciding on what type of grass to choose. The lawn now is bare dirt I just need to know whats the next step to take.

I’m torn between sodding with St Augustine, or seeding with Bahia Argentine or Bermuda Yuma.

I’m in Tampa, Florida.

I think St. Augustine might be your grass of choice for shady areas given your location.

Invest some money and do it the right way. Make sure you prepare the sod with topsoil.This will retain moisture in the heat of summer. I suggest Seville by Pursley Turf in Palmetto FL. ….Phone book. After grading the top soil spread a bag or two of Milorgonite-Home Depot. Lay sod have fun..Water 2 hours per day for the first week an a halftill
