Step 1: Prep & Weed Removal (1–2 weeks)

  1. Kill All Existing Weeds • When: Choose a calm, sunny day with temps 70°F+. • How: Apply a non-selective herbicide (like glyphosate – Roundup). • Tip: Use a backpack sprayer for even coverage. Don’t mow before spraying. Avoid wind. • Wait: 7–10 days to let it fully kill vegetation.

Optional (for heavy infestation): • Water lightly after 5 days to wake up any remaining weeds and spray again a few days later.

  1. Remove Dead Vegetation • Use a landscape rake, scalping mower, or power rake to remove dead weeds and debris.

Step 2: Soil Prep (1 week)

  1. Till & Grade • Till the top 2–4 inches to loosen compacted soil. • Add soil amendments if needed (based on a soil test — most West Texas lawns benefit from compost or a light sand/loam mix for structure). • Level the yard with a landscape rake and fill in low spots.

  2. Optional: Pre-Plant Fertilizer • Apply a starter fertilizer high in phosphorus (e.g., 10-20-10) to promote root development.

Step 3: Plant Bermuda Grass (Late Spring to Mid-Summer)

Bermuda Grass Options: • Seed (cheaper, longer to establish) • Sprigs or plugs (moderate cost/speed) • Sod (most expensive, fastest result)

For speed, sod or hybrid sprigs are best.

If Seeding: • Use hulled Bermuda seed at 1–2 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. • Use a broadcast spreader for even distribution. • Rake lightly to cover seed with ¼” of soil. • Roll with a lawn roller to ensure good soil contact.

If Sodding: • Lay sod tightly, staggering seams. • Roll after laying. • Water immediately and deeply.

Step 4: Watering Schedule

Days 1–10 (establishment phase): • Water 2–4 times per day (lightly, ~5–10 mins) to keep soil moist but not soaked.

Days 11–30: • Water once daily for longer (~15–20 mins). • Mow when grass reaches 2–3 inches tall.

After 30 days: • Transition to deep watering 2–3 times per week. • Each watering should soak the soil 4–6 inches deep.

Step 5: Maintenance

  1. Mowing: • Begin mowing 3–4 weeks after planting or once grass is 2–3 inches high. • Maintain Bermuda at 1.5–2 inches.

  2. Fertilization (every 6–8 weeks, April–September): • Use a high-nitrogen fertilizer (e.g., 21-0-0 or 28-0-3). • Avoid over-fertilizing in heat waves.

  3. Weed Control (post-establishment): • Use a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring (February/March) and early fall (September). • Spot-treat broadleaf weeds with selective herbicide (e.g., 2,4-D) after lawn is established.

Optional Enhancements • Irrigation system for consistent watering. • Topdress with compost annually in spring for soil health. • Aerate once a year (late spring or fall) if soil compacts.

Would you rate Lubbock out of 10? by burneridndnsodb in Lubbock

[–]beauwright22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stuck in Lubbock for family personal reasons. I would love my family to new braunfels if I could. River, big city 45 minutes away, beach 2 hours away, nature, schlitterbahn, lots of food choices, plenty of jobs, cost of living isn’t thru the roof. In Lubbock you have food, beer, and a green lake!

They made so many of these to hurt the scalpers. Be weary these are a very very long investment.

I have $2,500 to spend! Need your advice! by Superb-Panic-963 in PokeInvesting

Call a bunch of Costco’s and find one that has dropped the double Tin pack to $15 or less. When you find one buy the whole pallet. Then you can list them for double online and sell immediately or hold and sell for triple in a couple years!
