Any green thumbs in the house?

With our summer heat, sw blowtorch winds and low humidity, fescue won't make it with out shade and a lot of water. Tulsa humid may make the difference.

My back yard is a mix of Bermuda and Fescue. The Bermuda won't spread into the shade, and the fescue won't come into the sun.

I don't think fescue creeps much like Bermuda. You pretty much had to seed fescue.

Also another thought. Sometimes soil under a tree can get acidic. Makes it tough for grass. I believe lime is added to remedy that. You can have it tested but just throwing some down with fescue or shade mix seed couldn't hurt. I think it's hard to over-lime soil.

Update: took y'all's advice and have been watering heavily, grass is starting to grow and spread, the trees are ash trees and I understand they soak up a lot if water so were watering enough for both. Thanks for the advice !!!
