Grass that can take hot sun most of the day

[sissy]

I need good grass seed that can take hot sun also and would love a list of ones that people have had success with .The grass seems to always be greener some where else .Is there a better ferilizer also .What do you use and would you use it again

I have a friend that has been a landscaper for 25 years. He never plants seed unless it is for fill in for the SOD is that has been damaged. Never try and start a lawn with seed, especially this time of year when the birds are active from winter slow down. You will wind up with patches everywhere as they eat the seed. Marathon I and II are the best . Marathon II is a hibrid that grows only so high. Not worth the money, buy a mower! LOL In the lawn run, ha ha, sod is always better. As far as fertilizer; for a browning lawn with good root structure (check with a shovel-if you can dig easily-poor roots) amonium sulfate with lots of water first and after. Make sure there are not spots with sulfate standing. It will be green in four days. Maintenance, I only use Scotts turf builder. Good luck with your lawn!!

I would love sod too but I have an acre and mostly weeds. I would like a grass that does well in the carolinas, we get hot summer sun too. My "lawn" is usually brown somewhere between August and October. Sometimes it is brown all summer depending of it is rains or not.

I don't think there are many grasses that hold up under extreme conditions without regular watering. Even more drought tolerant ones will brown when it gets to a certain point. Maybe look online for the seed you had before that did well. Sometimes you can find things online that aren't being sold in stores right now.
