I should have taken pics, but the turf is in full blown seedhead mode right now. I feel like one of the Bermuda guys now.

I would be more concerned with site preparation that cultivar selection.

If you choose to go with Paspalum I would go with SeaDwarf. It is a true dwarf Paspalum while a few other varieties like mine exhibit dwarf characteristics when cut below 1/4"

The only warning I will offer is that Paspalum is very sensitive to being scalped.

My personal opinion would be go with Champion for this project

Bird taking a nap on previous trouble spot #1

Opened up some airspace with the pro plugger for a couple areas that seem to dry out faster than than rest of the lawn

New Unfavorable spot by power utility box #1

New Unfavorable spot by power utility box #2

The newly noted unfavorable spots are adjacent to my power box which reflect a ton of heat and get cooked and do not get favorable coverage due to utility light pole blocking. They've actually been unfavorable for a while, but didn't give an focus to them since I was working on other areas. I previously tested a 12x12 in this same area and in a little over a month it has seen 90% recovery(bottom right of photo 4)

Are you gonna backfill those with sand?

Backfill yes, sand no
Going to do a compost/sawdust mix. A majority of spots lacked ability to hold moisture due to coarse sand in the soil profile.

i wonder how beneficial it would be to drill into the soil a foot or more

This will inject air into the soil about 12 inches deep. This is one of many videos out there for this type of equipment.

I'm thinking about doing something like this on a smaller and way less automated level. I am thinking of ether using using something like this http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ames-24-in-P ... /206297060 or renting an auger with a 4" or 6" bit and doing this in just certain parts of my yard.

I use the full editor and use the "video" tab to insert the YouTube link.

Yeah, I think that would get the job done too!!!

You could always get a long drill bit and do it yourself as long as it isn't a large area.

BL/ATY only recognizes YouTube.com with the /video tag. Links to youtu.be and the like wont work. Google uses some of those quirky links when using a mobile device.

For my pal Blurr, pics of the "Spots"

Good news is now I don't have any bad spots now. I have remedied all my spots that have given me any issues since installation.
