Depends on if you have shade and if your soil was farmland before. Bermuda for the sunny areas. But, the seeds must be kept in very damp soil till its at least 2 inches tall. After it's established, It will turn brown in the dry heat unless its kept wet. But, it will turn green again when the weather cools.Look at commercial properties to see what they have.I'd ask at a LOCAL nursery (not big-box store) to see if there are better choises.Helpful Reply -

Go to your local home improvement store or nursery and see what they are selling. They only stock what will grow in your area and can also give you advice on how to best grow and care for your grass.Helpful Reply -
