Anyone doing this? What varieties are you using? I'm going to renovate part of my backyard. Probably around 6000 sqft or so. I currently have 50 lbs of hancocks transition zone seed. Its has champion gq prg, midnight kbg, and 3 types of fescue. Cayenne, firewall, and blade runner 2. Should i stick with this or try kbg. I can use the other seed in other areas. I'm still pretty new at all of this, but looking for all opinions.

Don't know if it matters, but i don't think I'm planning on using a topdressing. Can always change my mind though.

Thanks for the info all. I may end up going with what sss recommends for my area which is mustang 4, talladega, and 3rd millennium.

That's the one thing I'd like to get away from is always overseeding fescue.

So I'm thinking of giving kbg a try. It is the backyard, so it don't have to be perfect. It's pretty much full sun all day. Only wear it gets is from a 55lb dog and she doesn't dig or tear it up except for pee spots. Right now I'm thinking award and bewitched. Would like to add in another cultivater. Main concern is diesease resistance. Any thoughts?
Here are some that the University of Missouri recommends.

I like midnight, nuglade, and everest for the transition zone, but i think they are all in the same family as award. Not really sure if it makes a big difference or not.

Thanks llgrass. Think i might go with midnight, everglade, bewitched, and rhapsody. Would like to add in zinfandel, but it looks like it's only sold in 50lbs.
