How much traffic does this area get?

The reason I ask is that my St Augustine in the front yard under the trees are looking great while all of it in the back yard has been trampled by my dogs. I can't even get weeds to grow there.

If this area is a high traffic area, resodding might be a very expensive and futile affair.


Yup, our active Border Collie has worn out the yard. We did thin out the trees a couple years ago to no avail and the trampoline isn't helping anything.

Try St Augustine Palmetto the new super grass. Redid my lawn with that and it's like night and day!

I'm enjoying reading all these comments. Another good gardening resource is Garden Success on KAMU FM. You can call in to 979-845-5689 Thursdays 12 to 1 PM and speak to Extension Agent Stephen Bruegerhoff. https://kamu.tamu.edu/radio/radio-programs/garden-success/

Edit to add: I just saw that the Spring Go N Grow Gardens from Rooted In are available to order. Pocket Prairie and Monarch Magnet are the choices this season. https://rootedin.com/go-n-grow/#spring2026
