Hi, I'm in Northern California, about 60 miles north of San Francisco and 20 miles inland. My back lawn has always been a thorn in my side, and since it's Bermuda grass apparently I'm stuck with it so I decided to embrace it and make the best of it. I overdid it with the scarifying and I'm not sure if it's best to water and wait or to add some seed. I bought the seed mixture in the pics before I learned that there were different strains of Bermuda. The way I see it, I have a few options: 1) Water and wait. Maybe add some soil treatment. It's been in the 80s-90s here the past couple of weeks which should be prime growing conditions. I'm sure that if I give it time it will fully recover and probably look pretty good, but I'd rather not go all summer without a lawn if I don't have to. 2) Seed with the mixture in the pics that I bought. I'm afraid of mixing strains and having a patchy lawn. 3) Identify my strain (or at least learn if I've got common or hybrid) and buy those seeds from somewhere. 4) Give up and hire a company to come sod the whole thing. kinda joking but kinda not. Please give your opinions as to my best options Pics are attached. Thanks for any help/advice! submitted by /u/monks77 to r/lawncare [link] [comments]

I unfortunately let the Bermuda grass take over a few years ago and now I’m trying to fix it. I’ve been over seeding in the fall. Is there anything I can do this spring to fix this? I’m in Virginia. The rest of my yard is Fescue. Thank you! submitted by /u/Klutzy_Spell4852 to r/lawncare [link] [comments]

If I do a rough job raking out the Kikuyu and plant Bermuda on top with just seed, do you think the Bermuda will take? My kikuyu is dying, and tbh, I don't really like that kind of grass anyway, so I'm happy to replace it. submitted by /u/ExcursionSavvy to r/lawncare [link] [comments]

Located in Dallas, Texas Front and back yard are Bermuda, but this strip on the north side of the house (which is also the side with my fence gate to get into the back yard) is really bad, mainly just weeds and bare spots. I would love to get this filled in with my Bermuda. I'm just not sure if this situation warrants seeding or just patience. I know a lot of people say not to worry about overseeding Bermuda because it's great at spreading, filling-in, and choking out weeds but I'm having a hard time believing this whole section will fill in with Bermuda with proper care. Because I assume at one point this was Bermuda and became what it is now. But just moved into this place in January so Im clueless to it's history besides the PO neglected the yard. Anyways I'll admit I'm new to lawn care so I don't know s**t. I did spray a broad leaf herbicide and many of weeds are dying/died off and applied Lesco stonewall pre-emergent 4 weeks ago. Also last week I spread a slow release high Nitrogen fertilizer. Even if this section does warrant seeding, is it unlikely to be successful bc I already applied a pre emergent? Combined with this spot not getting a lot of sun and what I only assume is garbage contractor back fill soil. submitted by /u/pradaboss69 to r/lawncare [link] [comments]

Zone 8A (NW GA). 10,000 sq ft. Bermuda. Going into my 3rd summer trying to turn my lawn into something great. My front and side yards have struggled to grow as well as my backyard due to multiple factors. Nutrients were off, compact clay soil that I’m fairly certain the builders just threw sod over construction debris, lots of sun + poor irrigation (fixed this last summer). Last spring (prior to seeing everyone here say Bermuda seed sucks), I went out and bought a cheap 2 lb bag from HD. After aerating I threw some seed in a corner of my front yard, top dressed, then watered it like hell for 2-3 weeks. The grass doesn’t exactly match, but it’s way better than weeds and clay bald spots. So… are there no decent Bermuda seed strains out there? I.e., this link: https://hancockseed.com/products/yukon-bermuda-grass-seed?pr\_prod\_strat=e5\_desc&pr\_rec\_id=8bed36244&pr\_rec\_pid=573360799776&pr\_ref\_pid=4499967311921&pr\_seq=uniform I really want to thicken my side yard and plan to aerate, add phosphate (soil test rec), fertilize and top dress it mid-late April. Is seed truly that bad of an idea? Versus fixing the soil and giving ample water? Entire yard gets probably 8-10 hrs of sun, so we’re not struggling there. submitted by /u/damn_i_missed to r/lawncare [link] [comments]

Has anyone tried this? I bought (2) 60 cell seed starter trays, dome lids, grow lights and heating pads. My goal is to have 120 Bermuda grass plugs ready this spring. Has anyone tried this? Any tips? submitted by /u/Livid_Living552 to r/lawncare [link] [comments]

We are living in a new property that was built last year in central Texas. They put in Bermuda Grass and in the back yard a large portion of it died. Oddly enough there are lines of where it didn’t die. Once the cold weather stops I plan to aerate the dead areas, pull the weeds and put some new seed down. This area during the summer is in the sun almost all day and due to water restrictions it gets watered once a week. Do you have any tips to get the yard looking good again? Also, what would be causing the odd lines of non dead grass? submitted by /u/Brodie1985 to r/lawncare [link] [comments]

hello i’m from the mid atlantic we have a tall fescue lawn its nice and thick i aerate and over seed and have a lawn service fertilize every month or so not sure what is the best way to get rid of the bermuda it’s definitely not crab grass my idea was to weed wack down to the surface aerate and use a garden weasel over seed cover with topsoil and peat moss any other ideas? submitted by /u/Jaysmad04 to r/lawncare [link] [comments]

SE Michigan zone 5-6 area Hi everyone, so I got this new job as a landscape Forman for this construction company that does a lot of ground work roads and even wetland/creek restoration. They have a lot of contracts with various other landscape companies but want to end those contracts and do what I’m doing to be more in-house. I’m the only landscaping person in the company so far and my supervisor likes ideas and that type of jazz. Rn there are just having me go to sites they have finished and break up compacted soil where equipment has ran over and to re seed it and put down straw atm. Where we get our bags of seed is this company called Hanes Geo Components, and I did some digging on what kind of grass seed they sell and I’m not liking what I see. Does anyone know of a company that sells native grass seed for these type of projects situations? The only company I’m aware of that does cause I really like their podcast “the prairie farm podcast” called Hoksey native seeds sells two different kinds of native grasses for lawns and I’ve heard of prairie moon selling something called eco grass. Obviously if something saves the company money and is better for the environment and erosion control I’d be more than happy to push for that in my position. submitted by /u/Dorky_outdoorkeeper to r/NativePlantGardening [link] [comments]

So my parents have a beautiful lawn with bermuda grass, and each year i help them overseed it with ryegrass. Each year it seems to get worse in terms of coverage and growth. First year it looked amazing, looked like a golf course style lawn with very little watering or maintenance. Last year was terrible, it was very sporadic with how the ryegrass grew. I haven't changed a thing in how i do it but ill admit I'm not an expert when it comes to lawn care and im just doing this to help my parents (who are 70+). Maybe i seeded it too early or too late? What's the recommended dates that y'all do? Should i dethatch the bermuda grass? Maybe the seed isn't reaching the soil? The bermuda grass has gotten a lot thicker since i started doing it and ive just been putting ryegrass seed right on top of it. Just looking for some tips from some people who do this in the area so I dont waste their money (and water) this year. What times do you overseed, should i prepare the bermuda grass lawn beforehand? submitted by /u/Kittygoespurrrr to r/Charlotte [link] [comments]

I want to overseed my nightmare of a lawn but if you guys tell me it’s not that great I’m just going to get some Scott’s or Pennington and call it good. In case you want to know, I have some good grass, Kentucky blue and tall fescue but I have like 40% weeds and Bermuda grass and creeping Charlie that I’ve been working on killing to prep for this so I can hopefully get some more grass going and use preemergent and rage to suppress some weeds in the spring. Any thoughts welcome, even if you’re going to tell me grass lawn are evil. submitted by /u/louise_in_leopard to r/kansascity [link] [comments]

What is your favorite bermuda grass seed? Bermuda grass isn’t overseeded like cool season so it’s important to pick the right seed from the start. We all know to avoid Scott’s because it has the worst cultivars and usually mixes the kitchen sink in their blends like fescue etc. I’m moving to a new property soon and will do a fresh start: glyphosate, till and seed. Curious what bermudagrass seed everyone likes here. submitted by /u/Opposite-Bad1444 to r/lawn [link] [comments]

Bermuda grass can be defeated, but it takes understanding the plant's physiology and lifeways. "First, know thine enemy." Bermuda grass is a C4 photosynthesizer. C3 was the "old way" of making food from sunlight, and is still used by cool-season grasses and many other plants. C4 is like "photosynthesis 2.0" - new and improved. It allows the same amount of sunlight to produce much more food in the plant. Warm-season grasses, and plants such as buttonweed, that grow when it gets hot out and then grow extremely fast and vigorously in the sunny months, are C4 plants. C4 plants are usually full sun lovers, and are often difficult to vanquish because they are so effective at photosynthesis. But this need for lots of sun can ALSO be an Achilles' heel. Read on. During its turbocharged growth period, Bermuda grass stores sugar in its crispy, white, vigorously rhizomatous roots. If you were starving and there was no other food, you could dig these up and chew them for their sugar; they are quite sweet. The grass stores more food than it needs - just in case there's a change in its environment and it needs to get out of there fast, to a better setting. It is quite a reactionary plant. If left undisturbed - that is, no digging around it - it doesn't bother to extend its rhizomes (underground runners) much, if at all; stolon (above ground runner) activity is more common, but somewhat lazy. If left unmowed, it nearly stops these activities entirely. However - dig near it, chop it, place something on it temporarily, or intentionally cover it in some way - during its growing months - and suddenly it springs into action. Rhizomes and stolons are produced and extended at a feverish pace. Any piece of rooted stolon or any piece of rhizome more than 1 inch long has the capacity to grow, whether on top of the soil or deep under it. The stolon piece uses the sun, and the rhizome piece uses its stored sugars. It "compartmentalizes well," as they say in the trade. This is the reason it can withstand many herbicides being used on it, too - tissues die nearest the treatment, but the poison doesn't make it to the very ends of every rhizome, and those portions then regenerate. The takeaways here: 1) Poisons will likely need to be applied several times, and are only effective during the growing season. 2) Don't disturb Bermuda grass during the growing season or you will release the Kraken. I'll also mention that the rhizomes are purposefully very friable (they snap easily) which is a trick that most vines also use to great effect. In Late Spring and Summer, if you MUST kill Bermuda grass, and you do not wish to use herbicides (with Fusillade II being the most effective, with the fewest treatments) then your best option is black plastic or fully opaque silage tarps. These must be entirely impervious, they can't let water through; if they do, they also let LIGHT through, and that absolutely can't be allowed. This method is casually called "solarizing" by some, but that is actually the term for using clear plastic (which I personally found ineffective with C4 plants - they love that extra heat, sun, trapped humidity and soil moisture! However, a native plant friend whom I greatly respect says she did successfully kill Bermuda grass with solarization by tightly applying the plastic and trenching in the edges to form a tight seal all the way around. She left it in place from June to September, she said.) The correct name for using black plastic is "occultation" - depriving the C4 of its beloved sunlight, and cooking its rhizomes in the scalding hot darkness. Be aware that you must cover ALL of the Bermuda grass with the black plastic, or it will just make its way back into your killed area from the area you did not cover. Water it very deeply before covering it, so that its roots will be steamed. Cover it tightly, using stones to hold down the edges. Expect it to try to crawl out from beneath, and through any tiny hole that exists (so duct tape those holes!) Leave the plastic in place for at least 6 weeks, longer if it isn't high season. If you flip back the tarp after a few weeks you'll see the amazing mess of rhizomes it has grown in the darkness, seeking a way out. You must prevent it from finding that way out for this method to succeed. Be aware that you are also killing your entire native seed bank, several inches deep, using this method. You may not want to do that. Don't do this on a slope or you'll be creating an erosion problem for yourself for the future. Seriously. Don't. The best time of year and the method that is gentlest on your seed bank and ecosystem, you ask? Fall and Winter and Early Spring - hand remove it when the soil is loose. I know that wasn't what you were hoping for, but alas, truth. In dormancy (after the first frost, and before the soil gets hot again) the plant can be removed without releasing the Kraken by following the rhizomes and not pulling, but instead tickling them out of the soil (usually they are only a few inches deep) and severing any of the hair-like brown "tethering roots" it has. These tether roots can't regrow, unless there's white or "bamboo-like" tissue still attached to them. The bamboo-like pieces are called "the mother" - it is the oldest, most established portion of each Bermuda grass plant, and it can be tough to spot. It blends in with the soil. The outside of it has a bit of a sheen; you can learn to spot it. The goal in hand removal is to get it all in one piece, with no breakage along the way. You get better at it as you go. If you do the bare minimum of digging down into the soil, you will do minimum damage to your soil (breaking up soil is bad for the soil health, and typically takes three years to mend.) The benefit to doing it this way is that the cleared portion stays truly Bermuda-free, as long as you use a trench along the border (at least 8 inches deep and 6 inches wide) which prevents the rhizomes from the uncleared portion from advancing back into the cleared zone. Stolons are easy to spot trying to cross the trench, and can be cut back. This means you don't have to do your entire yard all at once. Sidewalks and driveways: typically you'll need to use a soil knife to dig out rhizomes and mothers from under the edges. They won't be too far in there since there isn't sun under there. They just like the extra moisture they get in a spot like that. Crack in the driveway: Use the "exhaustion" method. Make sure all Bermuda has been thoroughly removed from along the driveway edge nearest the crack dweller; oftentimes it is actually a part of one of those plants (yes, several feet away.) Cutting it off from the mother (and its store of food in the rhizomes that are nowhere near the crack!) will cause it to weaken. From this point on, let it grow a little, pick it off, let it grow, pick it off. You'll exhaust what's left of its food store, and it really will die. Do not use weed barrier cloth: Bermuda grass is basically the world's tiniest bamboo, and just like bamboo it has sharp points on its sprouting ends that find the tiny holes in weed cloth and poke right up through it. The cloth just creates a bigger mess for you to deal with - it doesn't work because it doesn't stop light from getting through to the plant, even if you have mulch on top of it. You may think "well, it's not a LOT of light" but a C4 can do amazing things with just little light and the ability to generate a whole bunch of arms in a hurry. Think "Kraken." Don't do it! About the "cardboard and wood chips" method: I'm three years into that nightmare now. I can say, unequivocally, that Bermuda grass freakin' LOVES cardboard with wood chips on top, even 6 inches of them. Mine clearly thought it was heaven (and still does.) Cardboard holds moisture (loves it) and is a source of nutrients (loves it). Cardboard under chips is eaten almost immediately by detritus feeders (worms, roly polys, etc.) so it gets holes in it immediately and VOILA! access to sunlight has been achieved plus a great source of consistent moisture and nutrients... Plus, Kraken behavior, due to being covered and thus feeling threatened. The only upside, after it being unmowed in the wood chips for three years, is that it has mistaken the chips for topsoil, and the real soil for the "clay layer" (usually its rhizomes travel along the boundary between the clay layer and the topsoil) so it is fairly easy to dust away what is left of the chips and remove the thick mat of rhizomes and the occasional mother, still anchored in the topsoil. This method did not destroy the seed bank or the soil structure but OMG is it taking forever, and a side note is that native plants HATED being planted in wood chips, and also fell over with roots up, very easily, in that setting, and I also had to water them constantly, even after they were "established." A note about how to dispose of Bermuda grass: do not set the rhizomes on a damp surface or in contact with soil or wood chips. It will live and reroot! In summer, on a hot, dry driveway, it will be dead in 24 hours. In winter, try making loose piles of it, and turning them, then, once dead, piling it very tightly and compressing it, and keeping it wet. It breaks down into a fantastic, light, seed-free mulch. Seed? That's the one "thank goodness" there is about Bermuda grass. It rarely produces viable seed, relying instead on its rhizomes and stolons. Can you shade it out with taller plants? Well, sort of. It knocks it back but as soon as a little light makes it through (you cut the plants back, etc.) it will rebound. Or it will move into a new area. This is why you do truly need to permanently remove it, not to mention that it is actively shaping the soil mycorrhizae profile to its own benefit, not to the benefit of native plants. It holds your natives back from thriving. I should mention that Bermuda grass doesn't like leaves! Leaves signal that there's tree shade (and major competition for water) in that area, and it will shut down attempts to move into any area where you put a lot of leaves. Don't put leaves in the trench, though, as the moisture they hold might be tempting. You need to train the neighbors' Bermuda grass rhizomes to just not want to risk trying to cross that trench at your property line. :-) Ask your neighbor's lawn service to mow so that the clippings blow AWAY from your trench rather than into it since the clippings can root in the right circumstances, and you've done all this hard work to be free of (non-native) lawngrass... I know what I've described is a lot of work. The service you will be doing to your ecosystems is priceless, though! You might just be healing your North American soil for hundreds of years to come.
