In today’s video I discuss 5 common mistakes I see people make in their bermuda lawns. Lawn care does not have to be complicated, but it’s important that you avoid making these mistakes. Many people mow their bermuda grass too high, but bermuda actually thrives being maintained at a lower height of cut. Also, make sure that you’re mowing as frequently as you can. The more you mow, the better your lawn will look. Don’t overwater your lawn. Your lawn needs about 1” of water a week, whether that’s coming from rain or your irrigation system. Don’t overseed your hybrid bermuda lawn with seed. Hybrid bermuda and common bermuda are different grass types and won’t blend well together. If you give your sod what it needs to spread, it will spread on its own. Lastly, bermuda lawns struggle when they get too much shade. Bermuda does better with full sun, so avoid adding too much shade to your lawn. If you already have a lot of shade, pick a different grass type.
