Mark, if your lawn looks awful in the summer even with irrigation, you probably have a bunch of rye in there. I wouldn't recommend getting more. I don't know what kind of fescue you've seen in your yard, but the newer varieties are very nice. I think your best route would be a complete reno, but if you insist on an overseed I wouldn't do anything except tall fescue.
I need your help with a Fall Recovery plan! (Pics)

First off, photos to show where I'm at at this stage of the game. :|
I'd like to try an overseed for the first time in a week or two. I've been lowering my HOC slowly. I applied Tenacity a couple weeks ago and its clearly working but sure looks ugly! I attempted to kill the bentgrass and clover in the lawn but I'm realising that the bentgrass has spread to too much of the lawn to take care of it all without a total reno.
My yard gets full sun all day and always looks awful on the summer even following a good watering schedule. My thoughts for next week are to aerate, starter fert and overseed with a good sunny mix seed. I wish I could do KBG, but cant get a PGR or let my lawn grow out 20+ days. Do you have suggestions on affordable seed? Preferably something without fescue as I get the clumps everywhere and have to dig out probably 100 sq ft worth before seeding.
What do you think? Is there a better plan? Thanks for helping a new guy out.
