Need help – replacing Bahia – 2 kids, dog, want shorter grass..

Hello-My Bahia lawn is essentially dead, especially the backyard, which my dog chases her tennis ball in.I’ve looked in to SeaIsle 1 and Zoysia, and SeaIsle 1 seems to offer a great blend of durability and “thinner” blades….Any thoughts appreciated, I’m worried that I’l sod with St. Augustine, and the kids can’t play on it – too thick and bouncy, I want a shorter grass, if I can get it. Little shade in back, some in front.

Also, any help with regrading lawn welcome – the super sandy base has created a wildly uneven surface.TR

Emerald Zoysia is an exellent lawn. It likes to be cut short and has good texture and color.

Thanks for the reply.Does anyone else have a suggestion? My backyard is a mess, it will need to be regraded, and I’d like to know if I have to wait until the summer “rainy” season, or if there is any way I can do it sooner, so my kids can get the benefit of the winter months (playing outdoors)?TR

Back to the top, since someone in a thread below said they had planted a SeaIsle lawn in January…TR
