Just moved to Gainesville, GA (zip 30507) from Savannah, GA (31419). In Savannah, had gorgeous centipede lawn. I know centipede well, but understand that it does not do well here. Currently, have mix of tall fescue and weeds in a full shade lawn. Would like a hearty, robust lawn. Should I stick with fescue (by overseeding) or Round Up the whole place and sod something else? Thanks!

You are probably not receiving a response because no others on the forum are in your area. You should consider:
1) speaking to a landscaping professional regarding several variety oiptions.
2) visit several established lawns ( 2-3 years old) of each variety, compare the appearance. Knock on the door, ask the owner about maintenance/problems. Most will take a few minutes to talk to you – we all like to talk about our lawns.
Then you can return to the forum with specific questions about the varieties you are considering.
