"What grass seed do you recommend?" This is a question we hear so often - particularly in the spring and autumn. So far, no one here has incorporated that into a dream, but certainly it's just a matter of time.
Of course, the answer is "it depends" It depends on what the light, moisture & weather in your area are as well as the type of use and amount of maintenance you are looking for.
Often, our customers have a bigger problem for why their grass won't grow. If it's a deep shade area with lots of tree roots sucking out all moisture or a blazing, sunny rise with poor soil and high winds, it's going to be tough.
Even the best grass seed can only do so much. In tough cases, it's more sensible to fix the problem (refurbish the soil, deal with drainage, etc) or find an alternative (create a mulched or pine needled bed around a heavily wooded area for example)
This said, we have had exceptionally good results in the field using Big League seed for high sun areas and Shady Nook for partial shade areas. At the shop, we carry 5, 10, 25 & 50 lb bags of the Big League / 5, 25 & 50 lb bags of Wyatt Quarles Shady Nook. We also carry accompanying products such as lime, new lawn starter fertilizer (9-13-7), 18-24-12, bales of straw as well as bulk and bagged garden soils.
