Houston Texas here. Hot every summer. But our first year at this house was a drought. Thousands of trees died. Our flourishing San Augustine grass went brown. We did nothing to it and it grew back thicker than ever the next year. Ever since (20 years) it has been fine. We have no sprinkler system and NEVER water the lawn. The humidity and occasional flooding rain handled it. Forget seeding grass. Put in San Augustine sod and forget about it.
