Suggestions on types of good yard soil and Bermuda grass seed brands.

Without knowing what kind of Bermuda you have, it may be tough to find one that matches well with the grass you already have. There can be a pretty big difference between Bermuda types. My hybrid in the backyard looks almost like a completely different type of grass than the common bermuda I have in the front.

As far as soil, just making sure you go with top soil (not fill dirt or the bagged "top soil" you find in box stores) will go a long way. Depending on how big an area you need to fill in, go to your local garden center and get a scoop. Spread the seed, cover with some mulch like pine straw and water a couple of times a day and you should be fine.

I got my seed from Hancock Seed and had pretty good germ rate even though I had no clue what I was doing at the time.

Accurate post.

Since your Bermuda was sodded, it’s likely a hybrid variety that is not viable through seeds. So it won’t match, although it might be close enough to not care.

Hancock Seed has been very good for me. I’ve planted about 25,000 sqft of Bermuda seeds from them with a good success rate. I’ve used Arden 15 and Royal TXD, all at 2-3 lbs/1000 sqft.

Arden 15 is the way to go. Like ME said a true hybrid will not produce viable seeds ie the Tifway family of bermuda.
