Trying to change my centerpiece damage lawn to Bermuda grass. I was thinking on over seeding with Bermuda seed hoping it take over centipede. I’m having issues keeping up with my current lawn. What’s you recommendation? Thanks in advance
I live in Atlanta as well Ron. I hear what you’re saying about sun and water as far as Bermuda and Bermuda grass growing. The local sod provider sales Bermuda sod they swear is shade tolerant. Is there a hybrid version of Bermuda seed you feel like I might put down that follows their claims? What is happening in the neighborhood is that some of the smaller trees have gotten larger, spots in the Bermuda are starting to show
@@RonHenry Bermuda only in the front. I am all over this next spring. I wanted to top dress for some time where I feel like mixing the latest and greatest seeds will give me a better lawn. As always, thanks for the advice and thank you for putting all the great videos out.

@@RonHenry Is there any other seed variety you would recommend other than that cultivar for Tifway 419 sod? The goal is improved duration of green up, better density and fineness.
Hi Alexis. It sounds like you're cutting too much off at once. I would either mow more frequently (twice per week is the goal) or mow taller. The more often you mow your grass, the more likely it'll stay green between mowings.
I have celebration bermuda....and some small spots of common....what would be the best seed to closely match my existing turf? Always legit videos and your lawn is spectacular
Hi B Smith. There's really not an easy way to get rid of the patches of common in your celebration. Over time, you can only hope the celebration will grow in more to where the common becomes less apparent. The common has probably been around a while, so it's really alpha. Will be difficult to get rid of. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate the support.
Another tip for covering thin spots. Let your edges near curbs and sidewalks grow out. Then harvest the "runners". Poke holes in the thin area or make slits and insert runners. Hope this helps 👍
Ordered 35 pounds of Oasis (Blackjack, Maya & Transcontinental blend) waiting on the last round of up down temps and rain to pass here in Memphis... As soon as soil temps hit a little more than average its on... Seeding 1 week prior to vacation then leaving for vacation hopefully by week 3 I can mow again
@@RonHenry I sure will probably setup a timer on the irrigation system.. Vacation should allow me to resist the urge to green the GM 1600 out... Really appreciate the Pro Tip on RGS.....

@@Brad901 Sounds good Brad. You definitely don't want the seed very deep. I believe the label says 1/16 of an inch. So just barely covered. My plan is to top dress, seed on top of it and then uses the leveling rake to work it all in.
It does treflippa. I linked the video where I showed how to mix the play sand with the seed. Video was already getting long so I didn't want to cover old material again. Did it seem too long to watch?
@@RonHenry nope not too long at all. And I learned about the sand thing from your other video haha. Keep up the good work you've got some good knowledge you're sharing!
You didn't scare me off because I have cool season turf😂😂. A good chunk of the process is similar, but our cost of seed is much lower and we usually don't need as much water since clay 1, holds well and 2, are temps are going down so moisture holds better
I hear you Andy. Seeding Bermuda is an exercise in pain. Trying to get grass to grow when temperatures are getting hotter. Takes a lot of water to pull off. If all you’re trying to do is establish a new lawn, sod is much, much easier. Thanks for chiming in sir. 👊😎
Definetly sod for a new warm season turf, although Pete with GCI turf grew Bermuda from seed last season in North Carolina and it came out great for a total burndown for sure. But it did take a while from what I recall

I just ordered my first reel mower. I ordered 5lbs of Arden 15. Going to give it a try over common bermuda in my front yard on a corner lot. I been wanting to try it since Princess 22 was a new cultivar. I lived her for over 20 years and been a Certified Applicator for over 20 years in Pest Management. Have done pretty decent with my common bermuda, but want to try a reel mower and go lower. Wish me luck!!! PS I am central Oklahoma. Any advice is appreciated! Lol. Btw your lawn looks great blended.
Very cool Justin! It sounds like you know what you're doing. I'm not sure how well Arden 15 will blend with common Bermuda. If you're going forward with the overseed, the best advice I can give you is it takes A LOT of regular water to get Bermuda to germinate and establish properly. Figure to watering 2 - 3 times per day for 3 weeks. You'll want to do it when soil temps are 65 degrees. Congrats on the reel mower man. It's really a game changer for a warm season lawn. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks for watching.
@@RonHenry Thanks Sir! Yeah not sure how blending will look. Going to try a small area hidden from view. I haven't got brave enough yet to Ranger Pro the entire yard. Lol. We been abnormally a little chilly last couple weeks. Its warming up this week. Soil Temp was about 63 last night. Love your videos man!!!
Hey Ron have you found a replacement for the Arden 15 since it’s discontinued??? How are you overseeding your lawn now or are you not doing it no more since Arden 15 got discontinued???
Question, I am renovating my yard from scratch. Should I seed my yard with arden15 or start with another strain of bermudagrass then overseed with the arden15 next year???
Hi Briwash4. That's pretty cool that you're starting over on your lawn from scratch. There are a lot of choices for Bermuda grass. The easiest way to get your lawn established is to use sod. This is going to require the least amount of work and will get the lawn looking good sooner than any other method. If you're going the seed route, I would choose one type and stick with it. So if you decide that you're going with Arden 15, I would stick to that grass seed on the lawn. It's already an excellent choice for Bermuda so if you're able to grow it from scratch, there'd be little reason to mix anything else with it. It does take A LOT of water to establish though. You literally have to keep your lawn moist for 3 weeks. This is going to mean watering 3 times per day. Just something to consider. Thanks for watching the content.
@@RonHenry this is the issue, me and my wife are not on the same page. I believe we should establish with a regular seed, tifway 419 or something, then when its established we overseed with the hybrid for a few years. She wants to throw the arden15 at the yard and just go for broke. We are in the Lawrenceville area, we have red clay monster pit of a yard. I dont want to waste $500 on a bag of seed that might not take. We are at odds right now!! I know the sod would be easier but Im not willing to put a couple of grand into this either. I believe my yard is 7500sq ft
@@briwash4 Here's the thing, $500 is just entry price tag. You're looking at very expensive water bill as part of the establishment process. Sod is literally several orders of magnitude easier to pull off than seed. It takes a lot of water. Bermuda will grow in pretty much anything but it wouldn't hurt to have a decent layer of soil before you throw a lot of seed and water at the project. Just so you know, Tifway 419 can look absolutely GORGEOUS if take care of. Alex's lawn is Tifway and looks great. Just something to consider.
Ron...I have to share a secret with you. I’m not a fan of over-seeding Bermuda. Hehehehehe. But on a serious note, How many more seasons of doing this would think its gonna take for you have an even coat of your desired cultivar? Is the juice really worth the squeeze here? 🤷🏽♂️ 🤷🏽♂️. Hehe. I love busting your chops. 😝 😝
Ron, thanks for all the great information. I was wondering why my Arden15 hasn’t started coming out of dormancy? When I planted last spring it came in beautiful. Any advice would be great.
Mmmm how tall are you maintaining it Sean? Also what are the temperatures like where you are? If you're in GA, it should be coming out of dormancy by now.
@@seanhartman5761 That should be low enough Sean. Have you done a soil test recently to determine if there are any deficiencies that could be hold the grass back?

Which video did you try to get it on Perpetual Student? This link should work: amzn.to/3ezdZsW If you let me know which it was, I'll go fix it. Thanks for letting me know.
Hi Lincoln. If you glyphosate your lawn, I'd give it 3 weeks before seeding. By then the existing grass should be dead. In some cases you'll have to do another application to really knock the existing Bermuda back before seeding.
@@RonHenry Thanks so much for your information. I already have my Arden 15 seeds. I'm in Huntsville AL so my temps are like yours so I'm going to copy everything you do this year to get my yard right.
Ron. I have Empire Zoysia. I keep researching there are not seeds to buy for this type grass. Could I overseed with Zentih Zoysia? The leaf blades seem to be similar.
@@tjohnson1673 Heya Tim. Assuming they're getting enough sunlight, the thin areas will thicken up over time. Zoysia is just a very slow growing grass so depending on how big we're talking, it could be an entire growing season. You could try plugging the areas to accelerate the process. That would ensure no color differences as the spot fills in.
Hi American Cutie. Bermuda loves heat. So as long as soil temps are above 65 degrees and you're able to keep it hydrated, it should germinate. Watering is super important. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks for watching the content.
Hi At the speed. It only requires very light coverage to get germination. Foe most people I don't recommend doing it. The first 6 minutes of the video, I pointed out the negatives of the approach. :-)
@@RonHenry So I got bermuda grass I can take seeds and spread them over my Bermuda grass and it will still germinate without planting. Thanks for your reply we all appreciate it.
What's the point of having a hybrid if you are just going to overseed it with common? You should never have to overseed bermuda, npk+micros+ correct ph = beautiful lawn.
Reason why I did it Bryan is because I had sod replaced in a few areas and it never matched properly. If I had to do it all over, I would probably have plugged the areas instead of having new sod installed. Overseeding was a way of getting more even color throughout the entire lawn. It's been a lot of work but I like how it looks now. You'll note I spent the first half of the video explaining why it's not easy or an especially great idea. 😂 Thanks for watching sir.
@@RonHenry I just threw my Princess 77 down during the rainy season in Florida and let nature take of it. I only did a pound, so it wasn’t much of a risk

Anytime!
Thank You.
Anytime
Timely topic for me
Thanks for watching Eric. I made it as complete as I could. Lots of good tips if you watch the entire thing.
Ron. I have Empire Zoysia. I keep researching there are not seeds to buy for this type grass. Could I overseed with Zentih Zoysia? The leaf blades seem to be similar.
Ehhh I probably wouldn't Tim. Do you a thin area you're trying to get filled in?
@@RonHenry just trying to fill in thin spots
@@tjohnson1673 Heya Tim. Assuming they're getting enough sunlight, the thin areas will thicken up over time. Zoysia is just a very slow growing grass so depending on how big we're talking, it could be an entire growing season. You could try plugging the areas to accelerate the process. That would ensure no color differences as the spot fills in.
@@RonHenry Thank Ron!
Anytime.
Just got mine
Very cool sir. Let me know if I can help with anything.
Does it matter where you live? I'm in Texas and it hot and humid
Hi American Cutie. Bermuda loves heat. So as long as soil temps are above 65 degrees and you're able to keep it hydrated, it should germinate. Watering is super important. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks for watching the content.
Can you overseed Arden 15 on zoysia grass?
You can but I would not. They look very different
Thanks for replying. Enjoying the info from your videos. 👌
@@EXAGOCLOTHING Anytime Leonid. I appreciate you watching the content.
How do overseed works because don't the seed have to be covered in soil to germinate?
Hi At the speed. It only requires very light coverage to get germination. Foe most people I don't recommend doing it. The first 6 minutes of the video, I pointed out the negatives of the approach. :-)
@@RonHenry So I got bermuda grass I can take seeds and spread them over my Bermuda grass and it will still germinate without planting. Thanks for your reply we all appreciate it.
Do you over seed Bermuda sod?
No Mark. No need.
Is Outsidepride Arden 15 the same as Pennington Arden 15?
Yep Cory. It's Pennington Arden 15. Same product.
@@RonHenry Thanks because I was trying to find it and outsidepride kept showing up.
@@blackhornet25 yep. Can get it here: Arden 15 Grass Seed: amzn.to/2O9tazW
I got mine from hancockseed.com cheapest price I’ve found. They’re in Florida
@@chucklee2507 Preshate it.
Didn’t see the hat in ur merchandise store
That hat was a gift from a viewer. Do you like it? I can see about getting them added.
What's the point of having a hybrid if you are just going to overseed it with common? You should never have to overseed bermuda, npk+micros+ correct ph = beautiful lawn.
Reason why I did it Bryan is because I had sod replaced in a few areas and it never matched properly. If I had to do it all over, I would probably have plugged the areas instead of having new sod installed. Overseeding was a way of getting more even color throughout the entire lawn. It's been a lot of work but I like how it looks now. You'll note I spent the first half of the video explaining why it's not easy or an especially great idea. 😂 Thanks for watching sir.
1,000 water bill. My wife would kill me.... lol
That’s a worst case scenario. Most people won’t use that much water.
You failed miserably trying to talk people out of it when you show them the results in your lawn 😮😂
Dang it. Time to redo the edit. :-)
Cannot play the video
You still can’t play it Jerry?
@@RonHenry Nothing plays for me
@@JBSpine007 which browser are you using? Can you restart it or check for updates?
It’s playing on my phone!
@@JBSpine007 Nice Jerry. Thanks for watching sir. Sorry about the inconvenience.
Yep, you lost me at the water bill
Not. necessarily always that high but if there's no rain and you have a big lawn, it can that high Richard. Definitely not cheap.
@@RonHenry I just threw my Princess 77 down during the rainy season in Florida and let nature take of it. I only did a pound, so it wasn’t much of a risk
@@richardsmith1161 Very cool Richard. Did the Princess 77 grow in?
@@RonHenry In some areas it did great. Unfortunately my lawn doesn’t get a lot of sun had to put zoysia in those areas
But in the areas where it got sufficient sunlight it grew in ok?
