Help choosing grass for specific yard

10 years ago

I recently moved into a house with a backyard that was extremely unkempt. As you can see from the picture, there was a lot of overgrowth, and it is on a pretty big slope (roughly 20 ft height change over 120 ft span). I've since cleared all the overgrowth and want to put down some grass seed to block the weeds from growing back in, but have no idea what seed to go with.

Info to help choose:
- on a sloped hill
- need to block out weeds/overgrowth
- little to no watering
- part of hill is full sun, part is partial sun (pine trees)
- slightly acidic soil (pine needles)
- on Tennessee/Georgia border, so only a month or so below freezing
- and the kicker, I have 2 years for it to grow in as I'm flipping this house and am selling summer 2015

Any help would be much appreciated. Let me know if you need any additional information and I'll be sure to provide it. Thanks!
