Mid-Atlantic Gardening: Confused about which Grass seed ., 1 by Gitagal

Sally--
I have lawn thinning out--not really dying back--but I sprinkle heavily.
The only area that does kind of die back is the one between my patio and the shed.
This area is also right next to my Red maple. It is also a heavy traffic area as I come and go
there between the patio and the shed. I do have walking stones--but the grass is just too fine to
live through all this and the summer heat.
Kind of my own fault--as years ago--I seeded this area with straight Tall Fescue, which is a very fine textured grass.
Today--I would use a Fescue Mix which would also contain some KY Blue Grass.

In the spring--before the trees leaf out--this area is perfectly good, as is the rest of my back lawn.
The trees are huge--maybe 46-48 yrs old? I planted them in 1972--but they were already 6'-8' tall,

As I wrote above--this Spring I fertilized my lawn with Milorganite. HD here sells this product.
Boy! Did it grow in lush!

Let me see if I have a picture of this area....Gita

Here, if you look near the leaning lawn chairs, is my stepping stones that I "try" to use
when navigating between my patio and shed. This was taken, maybe, a month ago.
