I'm still in the process of getting my entire yard (1/2 acre) converted over to bermuda without spending several thousands.

With that being said, I'm just trusting the process. I still have a lot of my yard that isn't bermuda and or bare spots.

When I'm walking the yard and see these runners filling in the bare spots. Just warms my heart 🥰

Just moved into this house, trying to get this yard under control and fill in some bare spots. Any help is appreciated

Zone 8a (GA) – First-year seeded Bermuda. Spray Celsius WG or let it fill in naturally?

Just wanted to provide an update from my previous post. Thanks to both communities for their help. Hope this helps others like myself later. Attached picture is one week with a fresh mow at 2.25”

*crispy edging bonus pic (first time with edger too)

TDLR: Cut down from 2.5” to 1.8” mid-summer (June 26 with core aeration/slow granular release fertilizer) and allowed ~0.5” HOC increase and one week of growth to green up and then maintain.

Advice on brown spots?

3 Upvotes

I sand leveled about a month ago, already spoon fed nitrogen, snake oil and neighbors envy twice, watering 1”-1.5” a week infrequently. Was watering Monday/Thursday, with triple digit temps now in Texas I water Mon/wed/fri. To get the same. Any help on how to solve the brown areas? I mow at 1.25” use a zero turn. Currently waiting on my McLane reel mower to arrive. TIA
Currently can’t post a picture 🤷🏻‍♂️

What’s goin on here

Moved into the house the end of last summer. I inherited a yard that was about 90% weeds with some Bermuda in there. I got a late start this year but have successfully gotten rid of most of the weeds. There was a lot of bare spots after that which I sprigged and most of the lawn has filled in nicely. This spot in particular is giving me some headaches though.

I didn’t sprig this spot, but it has stayed patchy like this for almost 2 months. I water 1.5 inches a week (tuna can tested). This spot does have someone of a slope, I started keeping it wet throughout the day similar to my sprigged spots and have seen some decent Stolen growth, but it’s slow going. Any guesses on what is up with this spot?

I don’t think it’s fungus cause it’s still green and doesn’t rip out, same reason I don’t thinks it’s Grubbs but I could be wrong.

Any help on how to bring this grass back life?

I don’t know why there’s bright green patches growing but the rest of the grass seems to barley even grow or turn green. It’s over 100 degrees so I fertilized twice in two week at half ratio to help prevent burn but this grass seems to not like anything.

Up the water to 1.5-2 inches?

I live in Houston, TX area. The next 2 weeks are going to be absolutely scorching.

Should I increase my water amount for the next 2 weeks?

My bermuda is newer and just seeded back in March. Not sure if the roots are hardy enough yet to handle that heat.

New Bermuda sod getting overtaken by weeds. I think some of the sod had weeds in it to begin with. What are they and what to use to kill them? Any help is appreciated.

I have mowed my Bermuda low (early season) and continuously mow the seed heads as soon as they appear and these keep coming back! What do I do to get rid of them?

Bermuda take over progress

Still a long way to go but seeing some lines after mowing.

About to add some iron and nitrogen and in a couple days hit it with celsius/certainty.

Hoping by the end of the growing season my lawn is at least 80% bermuda.

Cheers 🍻

I installed tif tuff in may and it has been doing great, had this area start thinning and just chalked it up as heat stress but now it’s grown significantly. Is this heat stress or is this a fungus that I did not catch ahead of time?

Good morning from North Texas ! I have noticed these super dark green patches in the last several weeks. This lawn is approximately 2.5 years old. Builder installed grade Bermuda. I cut at 2 inches and do some basic weed and feed in Spring and Fall…what am I doing wrong or can do better ?!

What’s up with the brown spots?

Can anyone diagnose this or give a possible treatment plan? Just started seeing random brown spots — some big and some small — throughout the lawn. That, and some mushrooms. Plenty of rain. Aerated and sand leveled earlier this year. Weekly or 2x/week mowing. The only thing I’ve put on it is milorganite and Ortho Weed Clear about 2

Dead Bermuda

So I sprayed the mulch bed with some of that grass killer because Bermuda has those branches. Is it possible that the grass is dead because I sprayed some of it ribosomes
