Do you actually live in Texas? St. Augustine requires watering every 5 or 6
days in the high summer or it will cup and attract readily an infestation of
chinch bugs. Bermuda will always win out in full sun, but St. Augustine will
win out in shade. St. Augustine will not take over the bermuda in full sun.

St. Augustine will crowd out the bermuda eventually. But you'll have to
water it in the summer, and you can't seed it. St. Augustine isn't as
thirsty as some people would have you believe, and it'll brown out a
little in the peak of the summer. There may be some zoysia or other
that would also do well, but my experience has been with St. Augustine.

Greetings.

My wife and I had a new home built down in Kyle back in August of last
year. Our home was sodded on all 4 sides with Bermuda grass, which is
supposedly easy to care for.

It's driving me crazy.

Weeds, Yellow patches, very VERY uneven growth leading to mowing that
cuts some areas and doesn't even touch the tops of the grass in
others...

Is it possible to seed something else into this grass? Such as
Buffalo grass or some sort of other native grass? Help?
