If your climate is on the opposite end of the pole and you are living in a warm climate, you will be working with warm-season grasses such as St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Zoysia grasses.
When choosing the right seed for your yard, look for seeds that are drought tolerant, disease resistant, and what their maintenance level is.
