Suggestions for shady areas in north TX bermuda

I have several shady areas where my Bermuda has a very difficult time growing if it does at all:

1. Under two large bald cypress in my front yard

2. The side lawn on the north side of the house

3. Along my wooden privacy fence

I am considering seeding these areas with tall Fescue. The front yard has some Bermuda left under these trees, but it is getting very thin. And due to the 10-15 degree slope of the yard, I am starting to lose soil. The front area gets some late afternoon sun, but that's about it. The area on the north side may get a little morning and a little evening sun. The areas next to the fence get no direct sun.

Is mixing Fescue with Bermuda a good idea? Is there something better? I do have a sprinkler system (if that makes a differnce).
