If I ever move back down South, Bermuda will be my warm-season grass of choice. I live in northern Cali and it is weird that in my subdivision, when they sodded the lawns, they did the front yard in Kentucky Bluegrass and the backyards using Bermuda. It takes more for me to keep Bermuda from going dormant in the late fall when the weather is still perfect for backyard events here, but during the hot summer months, it thrives and looks awesome
I'm planning on doing something like this on 12 k square foot and I'm just curious on how you solve the watering issue on such a large area I was thinking about getting the big impact sprinklers on tripods but from the video it seemed like what you had might work even better just curious on how you set those up
I'm not sure if this was the best way to do it but it definitely got the job done. I set up 12 zones of irrigation because it gets so windy out there I need more head for coverage. That was ran through a 12 valve manifold controlled by a Rachio controller. We also added a booster pump on a timer to increase the pressure to run the heads.
Hey Cam. I currently planted tall fescue Mountain View cultivars, in late March. Where I’m located it’s dry heat and our summers are 90’s-100’s. No humidity. We have long summers that usually last until end of September. 80’s start in the Oct. Our winters are mild lowest is 50’s and no snow. I’m thinking I should have went with Bermuda. The young grass I know will struggle due to being not mature. Thoughts on Bermuda? Central California is where I live. I think it’s 9b. Thanks Cam.
From the description of your weather pattern, yes, Bermuda would be more favorable from a management standpoint than a cool season grass type. You can grow MVS cultivars in your area but it would take more effort than a warm season grass type like Bermuda. Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
Thanks Cam! I know your a cool turf guy and looks like you know a thing a or two doing your Pops lawn. What cultivar of Bermuda is the best and has a deep green color. I know you put down iron cutter from this video. Also, sprigs vs seed for bermuda if I wanted to change over from cool season to warm season. Keep workin 😊
@catherineagarcia7964 Looking at the data and what I have seen colorwise IronCutter is the way to go. Of course it's not as deep as a cool season grass but when fertilized and managed it can have a pretty dark color. I say sprig over seed, you have more options because most of the elite Bermuda cultivars are only available vegetative and not available in seed. You can also get a pretty quick grow in with sprigs.
@@ElevatedLawnscapes Love the cool season grasses. I want a lower cut lawn rather than higher. I know I could get the Mountain View cultivars low HOC, but I know it's going to be more maintenance in the long run. Rye grass and Kentucky blue wouldn't make it in my summers. I don't know Cam lol, maybe wait it out and see how the grass does.
I'm not sure why you would want to mix Bermuda cultivars if you already have established Common. Common has a significantly wider leave blade and texture than the IronCutter. I haven't seen the 2 mixed but I would think that you could see the difference.
Good work!
Thanks!

Yessir 💪🏾!
Great step by step process appreciate the effort in all you do on the channel
Thank you sir 🙏🏾
Great stuff, Cam!
Thanks man!

I have heard about layouts like that. Come the fall, Bermuda is on the way to bed for the season.

May I ask where are you getting the Iron Cutter ? I’m in NC. I tried. I was unsuccessful. Thanks
Cape Fear Turf Farm has it now in NC. I got this from Collins Wharf Sod here in MD and drove it down.
@@ElevatedLawnscapes Thank you Sir !

I recommend the ones as discussed in the video.
Do you think Iron Cutter Bermuda would look ok mixed in a common Bermuda lawn?

That Iron Cutter is the truth ! Thank you for sharing !!!
It really is! One day when I end up back in NC, I will definitely have this for my lawn.
