The Bermuda sod is doing poorly in the shady part of the lawn. It receives the same irrigation as the rest of the lawn and stays wet. Is there a grass I can use to fill in these spots?

The problem is the shade. Growing any lawn in a shady area is difficult, but Bermuda grass prefers full sun. Why not grow a groundcover or shade garden in this bare area? Try to redirect your irrigation system to separate the lawn from this area.
