We're in the middle of the growing bermuda season and if you have bermuda dead patches or dead bermuda grass, I will show you what I do to eliminate those unslightly areas. This is the same concept as bermuda lawn spot repair but on a much large scale.

Watching in 2024. It's amazing how far your lawn and landscaping have come along since 2020 when this was filmed.

Good work detective Rob. I am looking forward to the results. The potting soil was a good suggestion too. 💪

What's getting me on my thin spots I'm finding out is when the home builders planted the Bermuda they barely cleared away any rocks or construction debris. Throw in the fact its clay soil and we now understand why we have so many weak bare spots on the lawn. Frustrating because it wasn't really apparent for two years.

@TheALG Год назад

It usually won't be apparent right away. When the sod is installed initially, it's constantly watered. Once you hit the first major dry spell, this is when the spots will show themselves.

@kentfiedor9159 Год назад

i have same issue, what did you do?

@TheALG Год назад

You don't have much options. Best to dig the debris out and backfill with sand compost mixture. Alternatively, you can just top dress the spot and increase irrigation but that is a short term fix.

Very helpful, thank you

I have some brown spots in my lawn which i suspect was damaged by sledgehammer treatment. The nutsedge is definitely dead, but I think the grass took a beating too. Hopefully it’ll bounce back.

@TheALG 6 дней назад

If its in full sun, the bermuda will come back.

Does anyone know if I am switching from Tifway 2 Hybrid Bermuda (only a year old) to TifTuf Bermuda do I need to kill all of the roots of the Tifway when I remove the grass with a sod cutter or will removing the grass with a sod cutter 2inches down do the trick and I am safe to just place the TifTuf on top after I place some new soil after removal?

@johnpatitucci7919 2 года назад

What about dead spots that have perfect right angles? I have a section of my back yard that's as if something has been sitting on top of the grass and it's perfectly squared. Exactly half of my lawn looks like this.

@TheALG 2 года назад

Check for reflections from windows or look at where water flows when it rains.

@MrHotguy034 10 месяцев назад

@The Average Lawn Guy is potting soil a must ,or can i just use a tiller and throw fertilizer?

@TheALG 10 месяцев назад

You can just till and fert if your soil is not hard. The potting soil is obviously softer but more importantly, it has a small amount of nutrients which will help aid in filling in.

@Aaron-oq9qg Год назад

Hi, did this work? I couldn't find an update video. Wondering if the grass filled in and if the potting soil held up or did they end up with low spots over time? Thank you

@TheALG Год назад

Filled in completely. The under lying issue was water coming from the downspouts and settling on the grass. We redirected the water flow and the bermuda quickly filled in. I will ask the owner if I can take a quick video or picture of it.

@Aaron-oq9qg Год назад

@naomiwoods9713 Год назад

@TheALG Год назад

We directed towards the driveway and the flow goes towards the street

I accidentally put ortho ground clear on spots on my Bermuda lawn. What should I do in those areas to bring the grass back?

@TheALG 2 месяца назад

The ground clear have an extended control that will prevent all growth. You are going to have a very hard time getting those spots to grow. You can try to water those spots heavily to push the chemical down or dig up those spots and replace with sand/soild. I would personally dig up those spots.

@BeyondThePathDailyPay 2 месяца назад

@@TheALG thank you for your reply. I’m probably going to dig up the bad turf and lay new turf.

@TheALG 2 месяца назад

If the spots are small and not taking up a big area, you can just remove those spots amd fill with sand. The bermuda will fill in fast, no need to add sod.

@BeyondThePathDailyPay 2 месяца назад

@@TheALG yeah I have a couple spots that are decent size. 🤦‍♂️ I messed up. 😂

Should you water the area after fertilizing?

@TheALG Год назад

Yes

@MiguelGuerrero-ud3bo 3 года назад

Did it ever come back?

@TheALG 3 года назад

It started to green up right before it got cold. I am going to swing by there to see how its looking now. I was told by the owner he's seeing some green.

What fertilizer did you end up using?

I think it was lesco fertilizer, it was provided from the owner.

What kind of soil meter are you using?

@TheALG 3 года назад

I dont have it near me now but any soil meter that measures moisture will work to determine if your soil is over saturated or not.

@waxp3172 2 года назад

What about if it’s in the middle of summer

@TheALG 2 года назад

Debris under the turf, drought, compacted soil, chemical burn, etc. There are so many possible causes.

@TheALG 2 года назад

You can remove plugs from healthy turf and put in the dead patches

@arielrodriguez6980 3 месяца назад

@@TheALG What does the sand do?

@TheALG 3 месяца назад

Helps the bermuda fill in faster. It absorbs heat and allows the bermuda underground runners punch through. All I needed to do after is lightly fertilize and water.
