Best for lawns here is fescue. It's not as apt to do dormant in the hot summer as bluegrass will. I'm also sure there as many recommendations as there are seed sellers in KY.
I'd recommend seeding for lawns at a rate of about 300 pounds per acre for a good lawn. I know this sounds really high and if you were seeding pasture you wouldn't go that high but you want a lush lawn with no bare spots and fescue is a bunching grass not a tillering grass. If you seed it at a pasture rate and never let it go to seed it will stay sparsely populated and you'll be seeding again to fill in the holes. What you might consider is seeding heavily in a yard area around the house and seeding more sparsely further out where you don't see and walk over it every day.

There are some fine blade fescues out of the market but good ole KY 31 will do what you want in a sunny lawn.

Also, I'm not sure that I would want to power seed up around the house area. That puts the grass in rows doesn't it? How long do you want to look at little rows in your yard? Personally, I'd go with a broadcast hand seeder for the grass that I wanted up around the house. Then I'd cover the seed very lightly with straw.

thanks, Janet. I'm not sure how the power seeding works. I'll look into it and find out before having them do it.
