[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 3882809, member: 5958"] I moved to Memphis from Los Angeles. My yard was so green I had strangers stop their car to talk with me. Where I live, you cannot successfully grow fescue. It develops a fatal mold and kills the grass in 72 hours. You need to be sure you can actually grow fescue and exactly which type to purchase before you can progress. Yes, you need to truck in topsoil and rototill it into your ground, along with enough lime to get the soil back to a neutral reading. And you will have to lime annually, worst case every two years. I highly recommend an in-ground sprinkler system. Right now I have Palisades Zoysia. It is a nice grass. Not fescue by any stretch but a nice alternative. Late to go dormant(My back yard is still slightly green) and early to green up. Loves fertilizer. [/QUOTE]
