Is there any other variety of grass like a rye, fescue or some other variety that I might be able to use in these areas that would have the color and blade texture of centipede? The areas in question are either quite long or quite long and wide to simply turn into flower/shrub beds without making the rest of the yard look funny. Also in regard to St Augustine is there only one variety of this grass? Our son lives in the Jacksonville, FL area and his St Augustine grass is unusually thick and wide bladed and I'm not sure that it would blend well with the centipede I have on elsewhere.
Funny thing is that I used to live in central Illinois and growing grass up there is so much easier as you could easily blend different varieties of grasses and there were always grasses that you could use in shade. Down here were I expected growing grass would be easier, it's really much harder.
