Lost my St. Augustine back yard to a fungus and of course, the horrible drought even after treatment. My front yard was Bermuda although I'm not sure what exact type. I lost a large amount of it as well because of my and my neighbor's large post oak shade trees and little to no sun. After I lost my St.Augustine, I just decided to shut off water last year to the back and what was left of the Bermuda, didn't fare well in the drought but it is still there. So my back yards is a clover fest and my backyard is a mix of thinning bermuda and some weeds.
My neighbors two big post oaks causing me so much grief on my side kicked the bucket (don't ask) and are no longer there.... so I should be good to go on good sun. Looking to go Bermuda again as I am tired of watering and dealing with the fickle St. Augustine.
I've been doing a little reading and have come across Bermuda Tif 419 and Celebration 450...and would like to talk more about the preferences of you folks that might have either. I have low traffic, mid to good sun with some shade with post oak trees, depending on the sun's position and sandy loam soil. I live in the DFW area, have an irrigation system and it is HOT..
First....I haven't bought sod in 13 years....what is the going rate for a pallet of sod and how much does it cover?
Second....anybody in the DFW area have a preferred seller or have a TBH hookup/Keegal deal?....Hi Keegals
Third...I am probably going to do the front yard first and I want to toss it myself. I need the exercise plus I have a couple of buddies that want to return the favor on some suspension and injector work I did for them. I'm told that I can scalp my current "weeds" and lightly till up my yard to get a good base. I have some low lying areas i'll probably fill with Dyno dirt or something. Any other recommendations for the prep?
Thanks fellas
