You might want to also check out twin city seed's TTTF mixes. Specifically the Resilience II, or also the Blue Resilience mix which is the same blend as Resilience II but with some KBG added in. The cultivars in these mixes are probably a bit higher quality than what is in the Jonathan Green BBU, and should also have a low percentage of weed seed/inert material. But I know many are happy with BBU. The Snapback RR is also a solid choice. Anyways just a few more options to consider.

I second twin city seed

 

Thanks for those options, i think i may go snapback and give it a shot for this year and see how it performs with Resilience II as a backup as it looks like snap and resilience have overlapping seed mixes.

 

I have been using United Seeds the last couple of seasons. Placing an order this week for more of their SuperTurf II blend.

 

I assume you’re happy with it since you’re reordering, but isn’t the point of this mix to not have to overseed?

 

I ve done what you are going to do, the difference in green will be quite noticeable, I would kill the old before you plant the darker stuff. The white spots is bent grass that I am killing, there's some poa in there too but you can see the color difference between cheap and elite seed.

 

How are you killing the bent

Zone 7a:

Looking to overseed my lawn this fall after years of using garbage cheap seeds, looking to finally move to a better lawn.

Right now my lawn is mostly Tall Fescue that I don't want to nuke but start overseeding this year and mix in darker shades of green which leads me to this forum asking for help.

Needs:

1. Looking for tall fescue seed as I need good heat tolerance and year-round color.
2. Looking for dark green color, right now lawn is lighter green, want to start mixing in darker green color
3. Lawn is nearly all full sun year round, shade is not needed for consideration

I was looking at Snapback RR as my first choice or possible BBU (but concerned about the seed not being weed free) or open to other suggestions as well.

Thanks!

If you can pull it off do a complete Reno
My attempt at over seeding TTTF in a mostly Rye and KBG has turned into a blotchy mess.

4 over seeds with Lesco all pro team in one area

I have one small area I did with JG BB original no Blue grass.

What blue grass I have in other areas is really off color to the rest and I dont like it much.
Reconsider doing a full reno.

If I knew then what I know now moment

 

SnapBack 👌

 

I just got some. How’s yours looking

 

Did you go with SnapBack?

 

I use tenacity to kill the bent grass, mixed with some urea and surfactant

 

What does the urea do? And you mix it all together and spot spray?

 

Makes it absorb the tenacity faster, mix it all and spot spray

 

Ive never researched nor purchased urea. Is there a brand or type you suggest? Mix ratio etc? I need to kill this stuff before I seed this fall

 

Most feed stores have it, its the 46 0 0 , you can do it without nitrogen too, it takes a few applications to kill it.
