I have approximately 8k sq ft of cool season grass. It was sodded when the house was built in 2006. The exact sod farm is unknown but only 3 in the area and all use some mixture of KBG, TTTF, and Rye. Species is unknown.
I mow when it is too long and and keep it about 3-3.5" during the summer.
I dont have an irrigation, Watering with impact sprinklers when I have time to move them around. Most often I let it go dormant, and most of it comes back in the fall when the temps drop.
I had some type of disease that took out about 1200 sqft. Currently being reseeded with 90% Elite TTF/ 10$ KBG blend , which I plan to overseed / reseed in the fall. Complete reno is probably a no go. Alot of work by myself and no irrigation, again moving impact sprinklers around setup on timers when time permits or help from the wife. We both work long hours.
Goal is to have a decent yard using drought resistance TTTF/KGB blend. I don't mind outting in work to restoring / maintaining yard, watering, fertizing, weeding, buying ammendments etc, but I have to be honest, I'm a novice and and this is a new frontier.
