Having read the "dead grass" thread, I'm afraid I'm in for bad news.
Writing from SE Michigan, zone 6. The front lawn has a maple tree -
red maple, I think - at least in the fall the leaves turn red. It
casts a deep shade, but worse is that the ground around it has lots of
thin roots. Needless to say, no grass grows there. I was thinking of
using a slit seeder, thinking that would cut the roots. But, well --
is there any type of grass that will grow there?

Good luck with the grass. Wish I knew a type of grass that would work
for you.

I was reading your discussion and while I don't understand any of this
I bet my grandfather would be interested in this. He loves gardening
and has quite a good track record with it.
