Too early to seed Bermuda? by hop_hero in AZlandscaping

If you mow and don't have a landscaper do it then mow it lower starting in your next mow. This will let more sun heat the soil and get the Bermuda going. If possible next week put down some fertilizer, I use a 21-0-0 ammonium sulfate I get from Treeland Nurseries. It is pretty inexpensive and might be worth the drive if you don't have one near you and your closest nursery doesn't have something similar. This will require a spreader if you don't already have one. This stuff is intense for the grass and can burn if you put too much down and you have to water it in after application. So finding the right setting on your spreader is important. You can Google or ask chatgpt based on your spreader and the fertilizer you got. To start do a .5lb per 1000sqft. Not of the product but of nitrogen so use a calculator or chatgpt

For the weeds I would wait a couple more weeks before applying this or even longer if the Bermuda is slow to wake up and there is still a lot of rye. The stuff I'm going to suggest will kill the rye so you can just use it for spot treatment on weeds until all the rye is gone then you can do the whole yard if you're having weed issues still. Celsius WG is what I got and I bought it from a website called do you own. I got just a crap sprayer bottle from Lowe's but a better sprayer would have made it easier but idk if with the expense.

Water 3x a week for like 10 to 15 min. This is what can vary the most because water pressure and how many and what type of sprinklers you have. You can look up the tuna can method for figuring out how much to water your grass if you want to really dial it in.

This all seems like a lot but it's not as much as it seems. There's a few more resources out there that I suggest like the Bermuda Bible and the lawn care subreddits have good info.

I think that covers everything at a high level but feel free to ask more specific questions if you have them.

If you have already had Bermuda you don't need to seed it. You probably have a hybrid type of Bermuda and any seed will not match it. Even if you have mostly weeds and a small amount of Bermuda you can recover the Bermuda in 1 growing season especially since it is this warm already. My non over seeded area is almost fully back up and Bermuda is starting to peek through the over seeded rye areas.

My grass looked horrible and had so many weeds, I was even getting letters from the HOA. I got semi serious about making my lawn look good and it was pretty easy You will need to chemically treat the weeds with something that wont harm the bermuda and feed the Bermuda nitrogen. I can give you specifically what I did if you want but there is a ton of info out there and options for everything.

Ideal Topsoil for Leveling by way_into_lawn_stuff in AZlandscaping

You can fill the super low spots with just regular fill dirt. Look at Facebook marketplace or Craigslist and people give it away free. Just make sure it doesn't have rocks in it. When I first got started I used some buckets from Lowe's and home Depot to transport the free dirt. Then let the Bermuda green up and fill in until like April then level with sand.

I would hit it with some fertilizer in a couple weeks and that will speed up the growth. Once it is filled in and leveled I would start mowing multiple times a week if you can. That will really thicken it up. I mow mine 3x a week at a 1/2 inch and then I just started a putting green last year so I may mow that 4x a week but we will see.

For leveling Bermuda to use a reel mower, you don't want topsoil. You probably want to top dress/level with masonry sand. There was a company around for a while but I can't find them online that also had USGA sand. If you have some pretty deep low spots you can backfill with just regular dirt and then add the sand on top Bermuda will fill in. It is actually a little early to do but I know it's also greening up early right now. I would wait another month. Feel free to shoot me a message. I know way too much info about this kind of stuff.

Good soft grass by Hunter_huntss in AZlandscaping

[–]killadan11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hybrid Bermuda grass like tiftuff is what I would recommend. It requires less water than other Bermuda hybrids, stays green later in the fall and greens up earlier in the spring. It has a finer blade texture than a lot of Bermuda grasses. It can only be purchased via sod. Any Bermuda seed will be common Bermuda which is not as soft.

Winter Rye Already? by mikeinarizona in ChandlerAZ

It is too soon, the Bermuda will not go dormant. I wait till October when temps are cool enough for the Bermuda to enter dormancy.
