Who the fsck let's their lawn go to seed?

some great success has been had with allowing Bermuda to
produce seed in the early season by not cutting it until
well after the seeds are mature. then using a planned
dispersion with a side discharge mower one can control
the reseeding distribution. follow the mowing with a
star tooth aerator and presto the lawn has been reseeded
in a most cost effective manner.

Here, Bermuda is an incessant weed. It's growing season is too short to
establish itself as a turf grass. And, again, the OP stated they wanted to
grow Fescue. =P

here in the south Bermuda is an excellent choice when high
traffic is a concern. the stuff is almost indestructible.
lots of the golf courses here use Bermuda because it will
hold up under the tough conditions present on the high
traffic areas. my dislike for Bermuda is how it goes brown
during cool and cold weather. though requiring more care my
preference is fescue.

due to the location of the OP their choice of fescue is a
far better choice that Bermuda.
