Lawn / Grass Advice for South Carolina - Zone 8a

Monica Fike
8 years ago

Brief background of our plot before I ask my question: moved into 15yo house (on about .75 acre) in development. All houses originally had sod (we dig up the plastic grid from it often when planting), now most "lawns" are just weeds. We did a lot of work first year - tilled (clay) soil, added top soil, compost, etc. planted Bermuda, but were really unhappy with how it turned out. We've planted rye the past two winters and it does BEAUTIFULLY then come spring/summertime we can't top it. We're open to trying a new seed and wondering what people recommend. (I've Googled and read a bit, but prefer a forum where I can hear from people IRL:) We'd love low maintenance (mow once a week?), soft to the barefoot touch would be nice - any fans of centipede? Zoysia? Fescue? And which is most cost-effective? We have both Home Depot and Lowe's by us. Thank you for your time!!
