You have Bermuda grass in your lawn, now what?

Let me guess, your bermudagrass is brown, patchy, or full of weeds and you can’t figure out why?

You’re in luck, that’s why this guide was created! I was you at one point and created this guide to help fellow Bermuda grass lawn homeowners achieve a thick lush green bermuda grass lawn like mine is now. There’s so much misinformation out there because Bermudagrass has specified requirements down here in the south like Texas where I am versus grass in other parts of the country. And when you walk into Home Depot or Lowes trying to find something to fix the problem there’s so much stuff on the shelves you don’t know where to begin and end up spending money on the wrong stuff hoping for the best.

Bermuda grass has a lot of great benefits:

It grows faster than St. Augustine so home builders love using it for sodding a new home. Did you know bermudagrass is actually classified as both a turfgrass and a weed? It grows so fast and can creep into non-bermuda lawns and flower beds just like a weed!
It is drought resistant
It’s super soft and feels great to walk on
It’s what golf courses use and yes, with this guide you can make your lawn look just like a golf course

Bermuda grass also has a few cons to be aware of:

It requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day and does not grow well in shade (around trees, shadows cast by your house, etc) with 10-12 hours of sunlight period being ideal.
It requires fertilizer and water to grow thick and green

Bermuda grass lawn care is all about timing. You put down the right thing at the right time. That’s it. Follow the calendar schedule and you should have the most healthy and green Bermuda grass on your block. March and April is when you will be doing the most work in your yard for your Bermuda grass so be mentally prepared for it.
