In short, I am considering having all grass torn out, fresh soil added and then either seed or sod put down. I would be interested in hearing any and all suggestions from those who have done the same or similar. Also interested to learn if there is a particular time of year that is suggested for best results.

Any recommendations for trustworthy landscapers to do this job will also be appreciated. I love the Villages and want to make my lawn look great and think I need to start my lawn over! Thx in advance
GRUBS... stores will tell you not to worry in the Fall about them. Wrong. I just replaced (bought St Augustine from Lowes) about a 6 x 4 area and found about 20 of them. I use grub specific granules. Sunniland Weed and Feed for St Augustine works great. I put it down quarterly. Dollar weeds mean too much water. I use fungicide for too much water and fungus. I use insect control as well as needed.

Massey was doing a terrible job and almost killed my yard. I became a diy-er.
