I moved into a new house on 2 acres this past winter. The entire yard is Mexia. We would like to put St. Augustine in the back and some other type of grass like Bermuda in the front. At least right around the house itself. The farther you get from the house I don't care so much.
I figure in the back, I can till up the Mexia and just put the sod over the tilled ground. St. Augustine should choke out the Mexia.
What about the front? Will I have to till up that also and seed from scratch? Is there a variety of seed I can throw out and water up that will take over the Mexia? Anybody ever had to do this before that can give some advise?
