We have tried everything and need help on what to plant in lawn area. Mostly shade and we have one dog. Heat here is terrible and winters can be frigid, and windy.

UC experts say “excellent” shade tolerant California turfgrasses are:

Cool-seaso: Hard Fescue Red Fescue Chewings Fescue Rough Bluegrass

Warm-season St. Augustinegrass

Need 5 or 6 hours of sunlight for even modest success!
