I have had Centipede before. It is generally a low growing grass that fills in bare spots quickly. Fertilizer requirements are minimal - once, maybe twice per year max. It is slow growing so you can typically get away with cutting every other week. Pretty drought resistant - once mine was established I turned off the irrigation system. The only thing that I saw that ever hurt it was mole crickets and they are treatable. It may not be popular around here so I wonder if you will have trouble finding a supplier??

The lawn was a problem right from the beginning and I had the company resod some areas while still under warranty, but I think the chinch bug problem might have been there from the very beginning.
Anyroad, I'm thinking of having the whole thing resodded with centipede.
Does anyone have an idea what this would cost? I know it depends on the size of the yard, but most of the lots in TV are roughly the same size. I'm just trying to get a ballpark idea.
