Most of my St. Augustine grass is dead and mixed with weed and other grasses
that have begun to grow.
What should I do? Try to re-sod the dirt patches with St. Augustine plugs
or forget the St. Augustine and
try to re-sod with Bermuda Seeds.

Any Ideas would be great. I don't want to spend a lot of money but I want
my front lawn to look nice again.

Thanks.

It's not a very good idea to install Bermuda by seed. The types of Bermuda
available by seed are generally the native Bermuda. The types of Bermuda
available only as sod or plugs are usually the improved type and will
perform much better.

If you are talking mostly sun. There are some new varieties of Bermuda out
now which are very good. Douglas W King seed company in San Antonio is a
good place to contact. Too early to plant Bermuda, you will have better
success if you wait until the first of May or depending on the weather when
the ground is warmed up to above 65 degrees. In the meantime use the lawn
mower to keep the current crop of weeds from going to seed.
