Granted I overseeded on my St. Augustine. People say it's too time consuming to switch the yard over, but I've been cutting the yard at 1.25 inches now for about 4 months. The st. Augustine is in fact thinning out and dying off as the Bermuda I applied is beginning to take over.
I don't have anything special as far as yard equipment goes. Push mower, weed eater, edger, blower. Just your basic lawn care tools.
And if anyone is wondering, I'm doing better. It's rough, and it sucks, but I have to keep myself together.

I made the mistake of cutting too low. Let the grass grow taller (3") to choke out the weeds.
