Because of monetary considerations or local water restrictions some people can't water as much as they need to. But what I like about a warm season lawn (I have zoysia) is that it may look crappy or turn brown in spots but after a big rain it will green back up. The fescue lawns in my neighborhood turn brown and still stay brown after a rain.
@lanieroutside

Absolutely! I have Bermuda and also Fescue and the Bermuda fairs far better and perks up much faster after a good rain. I made the decision to cut the watering down to my fescue and just spend the money on water for my Bermuda. Luckily rains returned and we have not seen any watering restrictions here. Just have to do the best you can if you have them and like you say the warm season lawn will bounce back. Thanks for watching and commenting! Good luck the rest of the summer.

I apply a preemergent HEAVY in the late winter. When the soil temp reaches 50 degrees, i apply the pre emergent. Wait two weeks then apply again. When the second application is down and i see the green buds start to appear, I’ll apply a triple 10 fertilizer moderately heavy. Then once a month add a fertilizer, followed with bio char supplement and when the heat is really on, an iron supplement for deep greening. WATER!!! Lots of watering. Deep watering help promote deep roots for healthy lawns. I water my lawn three times a week, along with a soaker hose usage. Lawn looks great. Cutting three times a week is not uncommon…spring scalp after the first month…wait mid summer scalp again…then i keep the deck low at 1” height…golf course green and short

Good advice. All five points are true. My 1 year old Tif 419 was not rolled after laying and pillowed out tremendously. So it is very bumpy. Can not mow any lower that 2.5". Looks nice and healthy but would prefer a lower cut. Started professional sanding this summer. Seems to be on it's way to being more comfortable when mowing. Tif 419 Bermuda turf is tough stuff but remember not to overseed with box store seeds. Not the same.

7:18 i dethatched it and then scalped it. I couldn't believe how much dead dry grass I had. It's been two weeks and I've watering it with sprinklers and by hand in areas where sprinklers don't reach. Grass slowly getting green, but allot of brown grass still and some places have dark brown like maybe fungus and I do know I saw bugs after dethatching so maybe that's it. I'm going to use a bug remover and then fertilize it the next day also going to put down a layer of healthy top soil with some manure in it to help with soil conditions. I live in southern California where we have clay soil, and it gets extremely hot like 90s and low 100s in July and August. Right now we're seeing 80s and low 90s (June). We don't see allot of weeds just a few that I pull up, but going to use a weed and feed like you suggested to control it. I saw a video on Bermuda Grass where they treated for Grubs(insect) so I think I might have them in grass, so I'll lay some Grub and insect remover down. I thought I would wait until grass starts to green and then Aerator it to help with water reaching roots better. I liked your video and realized I'm not watering enough. The ground in high lump areas(just a few areas) is really hard and looks like it needs fresh soil there, but I think just needs aerator and water. Wish me luck !

What’s your suggestions for Bermuda in SC in March. First step cutting how much and when to apply fertilizer and what numeric measurements (00-00-00).
@lanieroutside
5 ай бұрын
Well that really depends on what part of SC you live in! Step one is applying Pre emergent if you haven't already. When you are starting to green up and soil temps are rising you can think about scalping (most people on youtube do this too early) If you don't plan to scalp you just needs to make sure to mow a notch below your normal mowing height for the first mow. If you haven't had a soil test use any turf fertilizer and follow instructions. Don't apply it until your lawn is greened up and growing though. Good luck! Thanks for watching.

Just moved into a house that has Bermuda from a house that had St. Augustine, so its definitely a change for me... I currently have my deck set at 2.75", but still scalping areas of the Bermuda... Should i raise it to 3.17"? Its the next slot up on my Ryobi... Also, is the Bermuda grass looking brown after i cut it because i cut it too low?? Im so confused... :(
@lanieroutside
Жыл бұрын
If you are scalping I would try raising the deck or consider “resetting” the height of cut by mowing lower and bagging then maintaining at your preferred height. You might also need to mow more often Bermuda grows aggressively and usually needs to be cut twice per week during the growing season. Good luck on your new lawn!

I normally mulch when I mow, but I was thinking the last time I mowed because I had so many weeds that I bagged the last couple times because I felt like if I wasn’t mulching it with the weeds I was cutting it would help me control? Also, I see your recommendation for the fertilizer that I got some baby grass that have taken growth in a large bare spot. Do you think that same type of fertilizer to help it take off now for different concentration?
@lanieroutside
Ай бұрын
Bagging is really just a personal preference. I don’t do it regardless of weeds. When you return clippings they contain nitrogen and moisture which is beneficial to the lawn. Hit those weeds with a “safe for lawns” type of herbicide. As far as fertilizer if you didn’t do a soil test a standard type of lawn fertilizer will work fine for your lawn. Right now watering is a big focus in much of the country. If you aren’t getting a lot of rain be cautious with the fertilizer and herbicides. Good luck!

Leaving clumps of grass clippings is bad. Leaving fine clippings that are mulched up is good and reduces the nitrogen needs. They will decompose quickly but you have to mow often to achieve this. The only time I bag is when I spring scalp, reset the height of cut or just need the clippings for my compost pile. Great question👍

Thanks! According to the label 2 times per year max at 4oz/1000 sq ft. That is for a "blanket" treatment where you are covering the entire lawn. Spot spraying can occur more but wait 2 weeks after you have sprayed a weed before spraying again. I typically spot spray but if you have a entire lawn of weeds a blanket application may help you get them under control just wait for the Bermuda to come out of dormancy first. Thanks for watching👍👍

Thanks! Not sure on the variety, it is a small Japanese maple, doesn’t get any larger. It was here when we bought the house. You will use the same program following Uga guidelines but your timing may be different than mine as you have a longer growing season. Your Bermuda will come out of dormancy earlier and stay green longer in the fall. Your spring pre emergent may be a little earlier and fall a little later. I stop fertilizing in August, you may need to fertilize in Sept for example. It’s all based on soil temps and when your lawn is actively growing but the same basics still work!

Hello, great video. I subscribed to keep up. First time owning a Bermuda grass lawn. It’s been 4 months since the sod was installed. I’ve been mowing but every time I mow, the lawn looks yellow and patchy, like I cut off the green. I mow to keep the grass at about 2 inches. Is this normal? Also, going into the winter. What should I do? I see some people dethatch and overseed. Season here in Texas is in the mid to high 70s. Thanks!

First off make sure you know your grass type. If you have Bermuda these basics can help. You just have to kind of start in the middle. If I was in your situation right now I would make sure it is getting enough water, then spray for weeds with a safe for lawn product like spectracide weed stop for lawns then apply an app of fertlizer. You could go with an organic like milorganite if you are new to fertilizing it wont burn the lawn. Then just be patient and keep up with mowing/watering. You should see improvement.

Broad weed killer isn’t touching it.

Because of monetary considerations or local water restrictions some people can't water as much as they need to.

When the second application is down and i see the green buds start to appear, I’ll apply a triple 10 fertilizer moderately heavy. Then once a month add a fertilizer, followed with bio char supplement and when the heat is really on, an iron supplement for deep greening. WATER!!! Lots of watering. Deep watering help promote deep roots for healthy lawns. I water my lawn three times a week, along with a soaker hose usage. Lawn looks great. Cutting three times a week is not uncommon…spring scalp after the first month…wait mid summer scalp again…then i keep the deck low at 1” height…golf course green and short

7:18 i dethatched it and then scalped it. I couldn't believe how much dead dry grass I had. It's been two weeks and I've watering it with sprinklers and by hand in areas where sprinklers don't reach. Grass slowly getting green, but allot of brown grass still and some places have dark brown like maybe fungus and I do know I saw bugs after dethatching so maybe that's it. I'm going to use a bug remover and then fertilize it the next day also going to put down a layer of healthy top soil with some manure in it to help with soil conditions. I live in southern California where we have clay soil, and it gets extremely hot like 90s and low 100s in July and August. Right now we're seeing 80s and low 90s (June). We don't see allot of weeds just a few that I pull up, but going to use a weed and feed like you suggested to control it. I saw a video on Bermuda Grass where they treated for Grubs(insect) so I think I might have them in grass, so I'll lay some Grub and insect remover down. I thought I would wait until grass starts to green and then Aerator it to help with water reaching roots better. I liked your video and realized I'm not watering enough. The ground in high lump areas(just a few areas) is really hard and looks like it needs fresh soil there, but I think just needs aerator and water. Wish me luck !

Well that really depends on what part of SC you live in! Step one is applying Pre emergent if you haven't already. When you are starting to green up and soil temps are rising you can think about scalping (most people on youtube do this too early) If you don't plan to scalp you just needs to make sure to mow a notch below your normal mowing height for the first mow. If you haven't had a soil test use any turf fertilizer and follow instructions. Don't apply it until your lawn is greened up and growing though. Good luck! Thanks for watching.

If you are scalping I would try raising the deck or consider “resetting” the height of cut by mowing lower and bagging then maintaining at your preferred height. You might also need to mow more often Bermuda grows aggressively and usually needs to be cut twice per week during the growing season. Good luck on your new lawn!
So I cut my watering down actually and cut it shorter. I live in Texas but I’m doing 3 days a week early morning 30min a station. I just got a rain gauge so will see if it’s enough in this heat.

Also, I'm starting a compost pile (we have pet rabbits so we generate a lot of hay, pine pellet dust, and dooky), and I had a spot chosen to place it, but once I began clearing the area to prep it, i discovered some grit akin go kitty litter and I am thinking perhaps the previous owner was dumping motor oil/litter next to the shed.

I normally mulch when I mow, but I was thinking the last time I mowed because I had so many weeds that I bagged the last couple times because I felt like if I wasn’t mulching it with the weeds I was cutting it would help me control? Also, I see your recommendation for the fertilizer that I got some baby grass that have taken growth in a large bare spot. Do you think that same type of fertilizer to help it take off now for different concentration?
@lanieroutside
Ай бұрын
Bagging is really just a personal preference. I don’t do it regardless of weeds. When you return clippings they contain nitrogen and moisture which is beneficial to the lawn. Hit those weeds with a “safe for lawns” type of herbicide. As far as fertilizer if you didn’t do a soil test a standard type of lawn fertilizer will work fine for your lawn. Right now watering is a big focus in much of the country. If you aren’t getting a lot of rain be cautious with the fertilizer and herbicides. Good luck!
Thank you

I need help with my lawn. I got Bermuda sod laid about 4 months ago and it was doing amazing for the first 2.5 months. Then started dying. Was watering it every morning and night for about 5 min each quadrant. Backed off watering and it seemed to continue to brown and start becoming crunchy…. Now I have a horrible looking lawn. Mowed the rest down, thatched it, watered it, laid compost mixed with top soil and added seed with my spreader. 18 days and nothing yet. I’m not sure how to water it either after doing that work I explained. I’m in the desert

Wow not sure what happened but it sounds like you may not have watered it enough. I don’t have much experience with sod but would pull up a piece to see if it rooted and is indeed dead. Also look for pests as that could be an issue or even disease. Good luck and maybe try reaching out to whoever installed your sod for advice.
Question, some people say that leaving the cut grass on your lawn is a bad thing do you agree
@lanieroutside
Жыл бұрын
Leaving clumps of grass clippings is bad. Leaving fine clippings that are mulched up is good and reduces the nitrogen needs. They will decompose quickly but you have to mow often to achieve this. The only time I bag is when I spring scalp, reset the height of cut or just need the clippings for my compost pile. Great question👍

It varies throughout the season, I start with F in the spring when it is greening up, then move up to E for early summer. Then I will move up to D and Even C if I can't keep up with mowing!

Very good stuff! I hope you post more. So, any interest in reel mowing? I bought one (a reel mower) last weekend and have been using it in my backyard and it’s really impressive!

Thanks! According to the label 2 times per year max at 4oz/1000 sq ft. That is for a "blanket" treatment where you are covering the entire lawn. Spot spraying can occur more but wait 2 weeks after you have sprayed a weed before spraying again. I typically spot spray but if you have a entire lawn of weeds a blanket application may help you get them under control just wait for the Bermuda to come out of dormancy first. Thanks for watching👍👍

Thanks! Not sure on the variety, it is a small Japanese maple, doesn’t get any larger. It was here when we bought the house. You will use the same program following Uga guidelines but your timing may be different than mine as you have a longer growing season. Your Bermuda will come out of dormancy earlier and stay green longer in the fall. Your spring pre emergent may be a little earlier and fall a little later. I stop fertilizing in August, you may need to fertilize in Sept for example. It’s all based on soil temps and when your lawn is actively growing but the same basics still work!

Hello, great video. I subscribed to keep up. First time owning a Bermuda grass lawn. It’s been 4 months since the sod was installed.

First off make sure you know your grass type. If you have Bermuda these basics can help. You just have to kind of start in the middle. If I was in your situation right now I would make sure it is getting enough water, then spray for weeds with a safe for lawn product like spectracide weed stop for lawns then apply an app of fertlizer. You could go with an organic like milorganite if you are new to fertilizing it wont burn the lawn. Then just be patient and keep up with mowing/watering. You should see improvement.

I have a common Bermuda lawn and got the crab grass under control for the most part, but having trouble with quite a bit of what I think is nutsedge. (Lighter color, faster growing than the grass) Do you have a specific pre or post emergent for that? I’ve read it’s tough to get rid of and that you shouldn’t pull by hand, as it spreads seeds. Broad weed killer isn’t touching it.

I've not ever had a bad problem with nutsedge but looks like that would be the product to get. Thanks and good luck!
