Thanks for saving me a lot of time, will wait to fill in those bare spots until late Spring
Big Al The Crusher depend where you stay at, don’t plant the Bermuda seeds until you have consistent weather over 80 degrees.
I absolutely love his channel. I’ve received so many compliments on my grass from mostly men asking what am I using. I sent them to this channel.
Thanks 🙏🏾
Great tips. I experienced this last year when I tried to seed with Princess 77 in September after killing off my crabgrass infested lawn in August. Most of the Princess 77 failed to even germinate in the cooler temperatures. I had much better luck seeding in May/June of this year.
styner83 where did you get your 77 seed from?
Thanks byd. I get my aerator tomorrow. Ive been fighting poa too so this is good info.
The hardest way to get bermuda to grow is from seed. One of the easiest ways is to plug bermuda. Now that can be expensive unless you use a tool called the Pro Plugger. It allows you to transplant your own bermuda from your own yard to places in your yard where you have patches or bare spots. Don't plug your yard until Late May June time frame or when Bermuda is actively growing. Pre Emergents is the friend of Bermuda Grass. Use it in FEB-MAY-AUG-NOV.
I know! I followed instructions to the letter and it didn't grow from seed !
I just hate Bermuda grass. I hate the dormant look. Ours never seems to really green up and no matter what lawn service we use we have bare spots and thin areas. I just hate it. Can I overseed with anything else to have a better Bermuda lawn? I'm seriously thinking of the ryegrass option for off-season. I hate Bermuda (did I mention that? ). Thanks for all the great information!
thanks for the sharing,, it answers my questions!! I am from Texas.
ZuYi Huang cool, make sure you subscribe and like. Thanks 👍🏾
Bruh this is very informative
I live in Albuquerque NM. When do you think the best time to plant that there Ryegrass in my pasture? And when would be the best time to over seed with fescue in my backyard? Thank you for your videos.
+Big Hern the best time to plant rye in your pasture is in the Fall when the temps drop in the 60’s and overseed Fescue around or before then
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thank you very much
How often can/should I aerate when it’s the appropriate time of the year? I live in North Florida and have a well and irrigation system so watering is not a concern. I have a pull aerator/drop spreader and am wondering if there is any benefit to aerating multiple times in the spring and summer.
Once is really all you need. You guy in Florida have sandy soil so fertilizer shouldn’t have an issue getting absorbed. Some aerate in spring some in summer. So if fertilizing is important you may want to do it before the fert cut off ban. Remember aeration is not absolutely necessary but it helps a lot if you have soil issues or Clay soil like me. I aerate when my lawns is about 60 percent green from dormancy and again after the forth of July.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thank you for the quick response and I appreciate the feedback!
No problem Scott 👍🏾
Great video!, can I dethatch and aerate the lawn at the same time? I don't plan on seeding but just add the fertilizer per soil tests. Also if I have a bare bermuda lawn, would it hurt with the dethatch/aerate ?
I wouldn’t recommend doing both at the same time. Aeration good mowing practice and time with fertilizer will give you better results in the long run.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral Thank you Byd! So if I decide to dethatch, how soon should I wait to aerate? 2nd owners to a 12 year old home and the front yard is not that great and never done anything other than pre-em/fertilize.
@@topcat5992 note. Aerating a lawn that has a lot of weeds is not recommended. But I’d only aerate while lawn is greening up or once before the heat in your area makes the soil hard.
Ok then probably a good idea to get the grass growing lush without weeds before I do aeration. It took me almost a year n half to get crabgrass under control via Prodiamine.
Where are you located? In Texas it still pretty hot until November. Could I still get an overseer in before winter pre-emergent?
Gray Lankford I still recommend you wait till May / June to over seed your Bermuda Lawn. Although it may be warm the soil temp will not be and you need sustained temps over 85. Plus your start fert is not gonna be affective on cooler soil and you’ll stress the grass that’s there because by nature it’s going to dormancy but when you add that start fert the grass is not asking for Nitrogen or the phosphorous at this time although the potassium can help. Plus the phosphorous will linger in the the soil and bind up other minerals and you may slow the green up process. When you put down seeds in May / June they need the phosphorous for development. I know you are excited to get the yard that Crushes all in you neighborhood but let’s wait till May / June so you can get the best results 👍🏾, make sure you subscribe and click notification and thanks for your question 😀
Bermuda Grass Central Thanks!
I'm in Dallas and I was told I could overseed with winter rye in September obviously depending on weather and once the rye grass has fully germinated some time in October I could put down pre emergent and then again pre emergent in late January or early February.
We will see I planted in late August. I am in Florida,so it's always hot.
Richard smith let me know how that turns out, you do have a good point.
Richard smith how did those Bermuda seeds take when you plated them in August?
Richard smith what happened its 9 months later
North fl seeded in late august 2018. Came in nice.
My bad. I just checked my pics and I seeded in mid October
Do u have irrigation system? If so how much water does your lawn get? I c u have a huge lawn!
Dietrick McKinney believe it or not, I have no irrigation system and I only water my yard 2 times the whole season. Once when I put down some fert ( organic ) and the second was when I watered in my 007 pre em. We did get plenty of rain last season. I think we only had a two week span with no rain. My yard did go back semi dormant but bounced back when the rain returned. Because my yard is on heavy clay it would not benefit me to water it during times of drought. Plus my water bill would’ve been outrages 😃
Wow. Amazing
How much water is recommended for Bermuda?
Dietrick McKinney 1 inch per week is good but once temps exceed 90 I’d recommend 1 1/2 to 2. If it rains I wouldn’t worry about water it..
Great video by the way!!
Hey can you top soil my Bermuda grass for low spots?
This video may help you ua-cam.com/video/PYR1nyYtpjI/v-deo.html
Trying to get my yard to stay green as long as possible. I have my Prodiamine ready to go, as well as my fertilizer. Can I apply both products at the same time, or should I stagger applying them. I live in Louisiana where it's usually warm through October.
lctbray27 apply both at same time.
Do you know if the "Expert Gardener Lawn Weed Control" the YELLOW bag is a good weed control for Bermuda Grass? I saw you use it in one of your videos but I'm not sure if you used it for Bermuda grass.
Electric Cuts the Expert Gardner brand is decent, only sold at Walmart. If you have a moderate weed problem it’s ok . In the video you saw me do it in I also spot treat weeds along with that application to get those great results. It’s now August and that product is like 50 percent off at most Walmart’s. So if you’re on a budget and you have weeds now, then yes I’d buy it. But follow that video and apply it the right way to get the best results 👍🏾
Bermuda Grass Central is it best to put this fertilizer down now or wait till the spring?
Electric Cuts check out this video for more insight. ua-cam.com/video/5djkYC5P21Q/v-deo.html
A question please: let's say that we plant the bermuda seed during fall. It will not germinate. Would the seed stay dormant until next year spring-summer? or by the time it would just have died?
Piña_colada•_• would not be any good then.
ugh, ok. That's what it takes to learn! thank you!!
We use perennial rye here, looks better. Can you do a video of what one can do if they don't overseed for winter.
Czr S already did, here's the link ua-cam.com/video/1swEGne4RZY/v-deo.html
Bermuda Grass Central thanks! Hey how long should you let a liquid iron sit on the lawn before returning to the regular watering schedule? Thanks for all your help.
Czr S if it's Chelated then you should have to wait long at all, that stuff is supposed to be absorbed through the leaf surface and not so much the root system. Don't apply if it's to hot. 3 or 4 hours and you are good to go.
Bermuda Grass Central cool it's a lesco chelated iron liquid fert so then we good. lawns has had trouble spots after grub recovery but I'm shooting for that perfect lawn for the big fight on September 16. That domination to friends and co-workers!
Czr S the new word is Crush or Crushing now 😀
When burmuda grass goes dormant, still need watering? How often? Thanks
John Lee not much, some say 30 mins once a week, some say once. Month, my suggestion once a month if no rain, if it rain don’t worry about it.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral I’m in Az. When our Bermuda goes dormant,…we don’t water it for a couple of months, which is usually mid November to mid or late January. When it’s completely dormant, I mow it one last time for the winter to give it that nice striped dormant look.
Will my Bermuda lawn benefit from aerating without overseeding?
Dietrick McKinney most definitely, aerate around late March early April but if you do a treatment of pre em I’d wait to right before green up.
What about de thatching?
Awesome info...
Yes sir!!
Just bought my home trying to get something started. How should I start, starting from scratch weeds on top of weeds 02-01-18 in Mississippi
Marcus Smith the first thing you need to do is buy a hose end spray weed kill for lawn and treat you whole yard. I’ll have a video up soon about that. Me personally I would not add fert until I see 70 percent of that lawn. You gotta get those weeds out of there before you really start trying to make that lawn pop. You can’t get a cheap one either. RoundUp weed kill for lawn in the white bottle is good but expensive. Bayer Advance, spectracide weed stop with the crabgrass killer is also good. It’s kinda of late but I’d also add a Pre M to this situation also. This will not turn an ugly lawn into a perfect lawn over night but you have to start ASAP. Another lawn treatment will most likely be needed but read the bottles instructions to see when it says you can apply again. Remember that Bermuda grass will recover from damages that may happen during this process. START ASAP!! Hope you hit the subscribe and notification button?, and join my Instagram account also.

Bermuda Grass Central Thanks for the help witch per-emergent to use.
Marcus Smith lesco 007 is my staple, but Scott’s halts is good also.
Bermuda Grass Central thanks... I'll let you how it turned out
Amen brother!
Ok cool what if my dog pit bull peed up a big 4 foot spot and grass is dead in that spot do i aerate mid may and seed or do i just seed
Ronel Brown aerate is fine but as long the doggy keeps urinating you’ll have that issue. And when you overseed is not gonna match current grass type.
Gotcha!
Too late lol
Sunlight, Sand, Heat, Water = Healthy Bermuda
Sand? Explain?
@@NewYears1978 Bermuda thrives in hot and sandy environments.
@@MysticalNerdTV In my case sand is bad, becaues the soil is clay so adding sand = bad or so I have been told :)
@@NewYears1978 Depends on the clay. If it's red clay like in Alabama it's good for it.
@@MysticalNerdTV It's black. Dunno what the diff types of clay are but I assume if it's black, it's not red clay ;)
