Bermuda grass is one of the most popular residential and commercial grasses in tropical and transition zones throughout the world and is generally considered to be the grass of choice for the green ways of professional Golf courses. Although a well-managed lawn of Bermuda grass can easily become the envy of every other home owner in your neighborhood, it is important to follow a few very basic tips in order to give your Bermuda grass the conditions and nutrients that it needs in order to survive. Here is what you need to know in order to raise and maintain a Bermuda grass lawn.
The first factor to consider when you are starting a Bermuda grass lawn from scratch is what type of Bermuda grass you want to grow on your property. There are four primary cultivars of Bermuda grass, including Yukon, Savannah, Blackjack and Mohawk. Yukon Bermuda grass is ideal for more northern areas of the subtropical zones as it can survive long winters better than other types of Bermuda grass. Savannah Bermuda grass is an excellent turf grass that can put up with plenty of abuse from foot traffic and recreational activities. Blackjack Bermuda grass is the easiest type of Bermuda grass to grow and has a much nicer texture than most other grasses. Mohawk Bermuda grass is grown almost exclusively for sports fields and golf course, and this type of Bermuda grass needs to be cut extremely short in order to prosper.
Caring for a Bermuda grass lawn is actually pretty easy once the lawn has become established. Bermuda grass should be watered on a regular schedule during the winter, but home owners should be aware that over watering this type of grass will attract a considerable amount of insects, especially in tropical regions. While many home owners make the mistake of using too much fertilizer on their lawns, Bermuda grass is particularly sensitive to fertilize, and a Bermuda grass lawn should not be fertilized more than once a year. During the colder months of the year, Bermuda grass lawns should be allowed to go dormant without a great deal of unnecessary foot traffic.
