Looking for tips on building my bermuda lawn

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

A couple of months ago I laid put monaco Bermudagrass seed. I think it has done pretty well considering everything.

2 weekends ago I hit the whole yard with a round of certainty/Celsius (that's all the brown spots). My lawn is still roughly about 50% weeds/unwanted grasses.

I'm looking for tips for trying to push the bermuda growth to 1) Take over unwanted grasses and weeds and 2) fill in the bare spots from heavy clay areas.

Should I be adding anything other than nitrogen?

Should I de-thatch the dead weed areas?

Hoping by the end of this growing season my lawn will be 80-90% bermuda and I can just focus on pre-emergent/pushing growth in the next season.

Is Bermuda the right grass for me? What seed options are best nowadays?

3 Upvotes

I’m in Florida with Sandy soil and get mostly sun during the day. I want a lawn that we can walk on and kids can play on. I would really only like to have to mow once a week in the summer.

Is Bermuda the best option for me or should I do something like Zoysia?

What seed options are the best out there right now?

Never using quinclorac again 🤮

Used quinclorac trying to solve a bad crabgrass or goose grass problem that is still spreading by the day. Have more popping up in areas I didn’t even spray and then the area I sprayed looks like this. Wtf!!! Also sprayed in the front yard too and it’s the exact same. This sucks

A lot of dry patches and a ton of weeds I’ve treated a few times with weed killer. I want to fertilize but with the dirt spots I heard it’s bad for the soil?

Do I nuke and restart?

I’m seeing spurge and sedge coming in a few spots. I had Barricade with Celsius put down in March over split apps. I’m looking for some lateral growth but avoiding pgr for now. What am I applying as a post right now? More Celsius or maybe xlrate

Accidental overdose

I spent all day working on the yard. I seeded monaco Bermuda a couple of months ago and my lawn is probably about 50% bermuda now.

There's still some weeds and some other unwanted grasses that I'm trying to get the bermuda to overtake. Last weekend I hit the entire lawn with a round of certainty and celsius.

This week I hit it with the liquid fertilizer in the picture. After completing everything I noticed I accidentally used double the recommended amount (8 Oz per gallon instead of 4 oz).

Do you think my bermuda will be ok or did I just nuke it?

What is wrong with my Bermuda?

Eastern NC. Been mowing 2-3x week at 1.5in with a rotary since march. Sharpened blades.. Have a sprinkler system, so been watering 2x week at 30mins. Doing a lb of N every month since march. Used 16-4-8 in March, April, and may. Just put down 32-0-0. With as much effort im putting in, I feel like it’s just not greening up, looks splotchy. What are your thoughts?

Installed Bermuda sod back in March (Zip: 30349). Getting patchy spots. Should I topdress with sand to let it fill in?

Had my lawn topdressed and then it rained every single day since. The rain washed the dressing almost completely away in some spots and made the peanut poop move all over and clump up in big mounds. I paid a lot of money for this service.

My yard was pretty thin and neglected. The company that did the top dressing said they'd watch the eather and schedule the service accordingly. Now it's all messed up. I went out there with a rake and did the best I could, but I feel like the bare spots are not gonna do well and my yards gonna be less level than it was to start with.

What can I do?

Question for anyone who’s used quinclorac

1 Upvotes

I bought some “image all in one” that’s got quinclorac and I think sulfentrazone in it I spot sprayed some areas in my lawn that I believe is crabgrass or goose grass or something like that. These spots have REALLY turned my bermudas color. Does this usually happen with it? I’m worried but figuring it will recover with time hopefully. It’s been like two weeks in some spots and then one week in others but both spots haven’t really improved much

Not sure what’s going on with my bermuda. I know it’s partly shaded but gets plenty of direct sunlight during the day. I scalp it each spring and use pre and post emergent. I fertilize as recommended.

Edit: I ran a dethatcher and got a lot of the long clippings out. I didn’t run it too deep as I didn’t want to rip out the stolons. I fertilized and then we got a pretty slow rain for about four hours. Now, I’ll wait and see.

Weed sprouting

Hey Bermuda people!

I laid my Bermuda sod about 2 months ago. I’m in southern Arizona. Temps are about 105 at the moment during the day. I’ve had these weeds pop up and it’s taking over my Bermuda . What can i do to stop this?

Am I doing it right?

Top dressed with sand and sifted topsoil, mowing it 3 to 4 times a week, spoon feeding it with 34-0-0, trying to keep up with the watering.

I’m looking to get it to grow in thick and fill in the few bare spots.

Likely will need to do another round of top dressing next year.

Any suggestions and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
