This is perhaps one of the best videos that covers so many concepts that not only affect Bermudagrass, but all species of grasses - cut height, sun, traffic, foot traffic, etc. Thanks for making it clear and obvious.

Yes, we have the best Bermuda Grass in the USA 🇺🇸 👍🏾

I've had a Bermuda lawn for about a year and a half now. They thrive in sunlight and need regular rain. I've about perfected cutting. I've found that 5 days between mowing is perfect for my environment here in North Alabama. Perhaps the best thing about Bermuda is, unless you just want to, you don't really ever need to overseed. The grass overseeds itself like he illustrated in his drawing.

Feels like forever since we’ve had a video from you!

I have zoysia in New York and love it switched from a Kentucky blue and it’s so much better than any cool season turf IMO

Wait a minute... you all were in my backyard and I didn't get a phone call... c'mon man! JK. I'm digging my frankinmuda in the backyard. So many varieties back there, but as long as it get the sun, water, and mowing... it looks fantastic!

Allyn, is Kansas just sort of a dead zone in terms of having a good all around grass type? The fescue looks good Spring & Fall, struggles in the summer unless watered to hell, and Bermuda here really only starts looking good in late May/early June and lasts until the first freezing temp in late Sept/early Oct, which sucks when it is a main outfield grass for our ballfields that are played on March through early Nov.

ALLEN , with rising costs in Fert and other things, any (inexpensive) ways to help maintain the LAWN? Even the water bill is out of control! thanks!

You were in my neck of the woods right down the road. Great video!

I LOVE my 80volt Kobalt mower! I can mow anytime without the gasoline, oil, blah blah blah. Just press down on the starter! Since we bought it, I have been mowing/bagging about 2 times per week. Awesome results!

I have Bermuda taking over my lawn in the back around the pool. I think I might have to glyphosate it and mechanically remove it next year. Then resod it. Unfortunately the growth habit or legs don’t match up with my centipede. I might just patch in st augustine and see if it can take over.

While I won’t be giving up my low maintenance start first pull Honda HRX EVER!! I can see why someone with Bermuda grass might consider buying one of those soulless electric robot mowers. Sometimes you just can’t get out every other day to mow that Bermuda grass. Glad I don’t have Bermuda. Wish you had some more footage of Pigeon Forge!!

It would be interesting to see what the high traffic Bermuda would look like with a couple bioStim treatments and then a double dark +. I’d wager it would look a lot better than dead.

You were in Kennesaw! That’s right down the street for me! I’m in Woodstock. I could’ve bought you and the Mrs a beer or two. 🍻 Bermuda makes an excellent, thick, green lawn in the summer, but I absolutely hate the stuff. There are two primary reasons. First, takes too long to green up in the spring and it goes dormant too early in the fall. We’re just starting the dormancy phase of the grass, but from mid-October to mid-April, the grass looks like crap. It’s either going dormant, dormant, or coming out of dormancy. So, that’s six months out of the year your grass looks like crap. If you’re fortunate enough to have a lawn that gets full sun throughout the day, it might be 4-1/2 to 5 months out of the year that your lawn looks bad. My lawn doesn’t get full sun until 12:00 through around 8:00. There is a type of Bermuda that’s a fine blade Bermuda (likely a hybrid), and it greens up earlier in the spring and stays green longer in the fall. The stuff is beautiful, thick, and soft. I’d like to convert my lawn over to it. The second reason I hate Bermuda, is it’s highly invasive. I’m constantly having to pull it out of garden beds. The fine blade Bermuda, mentioned above, seems to be less invasive. Unfortunately, I’m in a neighborhood with an HOA, and they require Bermuda grass to be grown on all lots, or I would’ve changed over to Kentucky Bluegrass, long ago. Zoysia grass does well, up in cool weather areas, like Ohio.

Mow, mow ,mow! The best thing you can do for a lawn!

Why didn’t you let me know? I was in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg last week too. That car show was Huge!!

Listening while I throw’er down on my wet dewey GA lawn this morning. Centipede in the front, Bermuda in the back. 😎

Thanks for the information. I had a question about celebration Bermuda sod that was planted about 5 months ago in South Texas. Would it be safe to spot spray weeds that have popped up? or is the grass still too young? Thanks in advance.

Happy Sunday bro

Ok to go ahead with the Prodiamine for my zoysia here in MD in the transition zone? I have never sprayed it during the fall, but I'm looking to stop the winter weeds from sprouting. I use it typically in February as a pre-emergent to halt crabgrass. Luckily I've never had an issue with crabgrass during the summertime.

I’m dying from lack of LCN and LAA content! Need more please!

I now have Bermuda grass in my backyard. Some of it doesn't get enough sun, but it is still very patchy. Not sure if I should let it grow out or keep mowing short. Any help/ guidance appreciated. I am in Miami, FL

Great vid as usually Allyn. I so wish I would have known you were in PF for the rod run. I'm less than 20 min away, I would have meet up with you,, oh well. Hope yall had fun, cmon back again!

what would you say the best non-bermuda grass for SWFL would be that can handle dog traffic? My dog is just tearing up the st. augustine.

Great video ! What would you recommend for a backyard soccer field in south Florida? Bermuda or Zoysia?

Now how do we get rid of it? 🤔

Brother thank u for the video im doing 3d render of lawn i chose permuda n u kinda should of evey tbing i need well thanks

Hey what's up LCN, hope you and the family Stat safe for hurricane Ian, I know your right on its path so stay safe bro..👊🏽

Hey Nutz, I got an Empire Zoysia lawn because you decided to do a part of your lawn Zoysia and that way I can follow you on the Zoysia journey. I’d like to see you spraying the common bermuda with Fusilade II or equivalent and getting rid of it on your Zoy grass. That’s the one video I’ve been wanting to see you do because you do explain things very well. Please!!!

My parents have a thaychy 50/50 St.Aug - Bermuda infested yard, mowed @ 3.75. Would it be safe to lower the deck sub-3" and let the bermuda pop?

how about a good bad and ugly video or 2 or tree about northern lawns

Please can you help ID this “weed” that is growing in my lawn, I follow the runners and pull it out.

BYD is in that area love yalls colabs I love bermuda you have so many post emergents to use on it

What are your thoughts on rtf (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue) grass for a cool season lawn.

Just bought a new house in Ocala with Bahia, man I am struggling to get it going

Hope your all doing ok down there that hurricane is horrible it seems!!! Stay safe my friend!!

What do you think about the Chicago Bears installing Bermuda turf in Solider Field?

Do you think the bermuda at the hotel was common? Definitely looks like a small bladed hybrid..

Thanks! Very informative.

Love your videos. I am in Greenville South Carolina with a Bermuda grass lawn, what pre emergent do you recommend to prevent chamber bitter ????

thanks for all the content and guides. over seeded my cool season colorado lawn on sep 17 along with flag-ship/liquid starter fert/RGS/air8/and patch master. the temps are perfect with some rain help. crossing fingers for good results.

Thanks Allyn for the video. It's always educational. May you and your family be safe this hurricane.

Sodded my lawn 6 years ago with Centipede just because that was what was previously there. Due to animals, foot traffic, and clay soil my lawn is very weak and spotty now. In the spots where the Centipede has died off Bermuda has appeared and seems to be taking over. Should I sod/plug/sprig my bare spots with Bermuda since it is more tolerant and push it with nutrients to take over the Centipede? Also the Bermuda that has appeared I don't believe is common I actually think it may have come in with the Centipede sod.

I have a 23.5' x 40' rose garden in my yard with picket fencing around it. The plants are badly overgrown (I'm working on that) and there's more weeds than grass in there at this point. I plan on removing the grass, leveling the ground, creating a border around the perimeter inside the garden, and have started working on a large fire pit in the center. I also added two benches. After I remove the grass that is in there and level the soil, I would like plant some very nice, soft, beautiful grass on the inside area. I plan on keeping it reel cut because my riding mower doesn't fit through entrances to the garden. I have a sprinkler set up, and it gets plenty of sunshine. I'm living on the Florida Panhandle very close to the Georgia and Alabama state lines. What type of grass would you recommend for this project? It won't be for the entire yard, just the inside of the rose garden. I don't mind if a lot of maintenance is required because it is a relatively small space close to the house and my garden shed. I also have been out there for at least 20-30 mins anyhow deadheading roses and reshaping the plants in there that need a lot of pruning because of over a year's worth of neglect before I moved in. I've looked into various types of grass, but I'm torn because I don't really know a lot about grass. I'm not sure what qualifies as high foot traffic, but I'd like to be able to sit in there barefoot (after I also get rid of the fire ants 😂) if I want to and have it be a really beautiful space.

So between z and b what should consider in making a choice

Common Bermuda is the old kid on the block Hybrid Bermuda is the New Gentleman on the block 😄👍🏾Thanks LCN for sharing

Most of my back yard and St Augustine got flooded from Ian. When the water recedes anything I can do to keep it from dying besides letting it dry?

I used that pgr. I used a quarter ounce too high. My aug has badly grew. After a month. The runners finally are running and boy they are thick ( like Luke dancers) but sheesh I gotta use this in the spring instead

Hey Al, will you be rolling out a FL fall lawn care guide again this year?

I've seen that Bermuda before

So how low should we be mowing Bermuda? I have heard everything from 1/2" to 3 in the heat of summmer.

So you don’t bag up the clippings?

what types of grass is best suited for the home in pigeon forge that are on mountains with lots of shade and also needed for erosion control? ?

I just got a new house. Its been a year. The builders put out bermuda sod and it seems (from the year Ive been here) that the grass is greenest and thickest mid July to August. My problem is that I know you are supposed to cut bermuda grass short, but when I do it never looks uniform. Its always green in some spots and brown in others (especially in areas where the mower circle blade marks are prevalent). Seems the only way to keep the green look thick and uniform is cutting it with the 3 setting on my mower. But with that I have to cut it more frequently. Ughh I cant win. Any suggestions?

Allyn, I have wild Bermuda grass in my St Aug here in south Texas. I hate it!!!What can I do to stop the growth other than pulling it out by hand?

Should have stopped in Atlanta and viewed my outstanding emerald zoysia!!!

I have bermudagrass here in Augusta, GA. I have taken care of my lawn now for 2 years. I wanted to overseed this fall but I am not liking my Bermuda too much (but I'm liking what I see in Zoysia... Do you recommend I overseed with Zoysia Grass instead?

*So should I plant Bermuda or Zoysia?*

Thank you LCN! On another note, is it okay to use GreenePop as my last fertilization on my cool season KGB before winterizer in Nov??? Will it promote fungus in the lawn in the coming Spring?

I have a patch of Bermuda in my NW IN lawn. Gets a good amount of sun by my goodness I can see it sticking out with those brown "leggings" and the off shade of green. So annoying.

Great video! How do you recover from 'leggy' bermuda and get back down to ideal cutting length?

Love the channel and app

Hope ur doing well btw after the hurricane.

Hey Allen I need help for my 4 yr old Zoyga In Venice Fl Can I pick you up for your expert opinion

Bermuda is unbelievably aggressive and invasive.

Nice MANG shirt!!

First Aussie 😁. Als back. 🤠

This is some good information! However, I am still not sure if I want to go to Bermuda...perhaps Zoysia. I live in southeastern Arizona, near the Mexico border. I want to transform the yard into something better than weeds, but I am not sure exactly what I am looking for.

My Empire Zoysia will beat back and take over the Tifway 419 areas. Empire doesn't scalp like bermuda either and requires signifcantly less water, fertilizer, and mowing.

I have a large common bermuda lawn with a few dead spots. Anyone have thoughts on sodding with a hybrid? Common bermuda doesn’t seem readily available where I live in DFW.

I laid pallets of Zoysia sod in my lawn to find out it was infested with bermuda grass. It's so bad I doubt it's even savable.

Threw some milo down and the neighbor boy came out of his house and said to his Dad. O no he put that poop smell stuff down again. I said thats the smell of success. Kid stared at me all confused lookin. Lol

Pretty sure that was Tifway 419 and not common Bermuda at the hotel plot

Not to bad from the St. Augustine king ❤

4:39 I’m surprised (not surprised) that a lawn “expert” did not know that the best cool season grass type for being hard wearing & tolerate foot traffic is ryegrass, why do you think most U.K. /European football pitches use ryegrass? Back to the back of the classroom for you again Lad.

A negative for Bermuda grass is that it LOVES nitrogen. With today's fertilizer prices, you can quickly burn a hole in your pocket.

Ugh....Bermuda. Its taking over my St. Augustine!

All i heard was bermuda, blah blah blah, then BAHIA! Epic

What happened to your St Aug?

Wow. I’m allergic to Bermuda grass

Been getting allot of Bermuda grass in nw Ohio. I pull that garbage as fast as I see it.

Seems Bermuda has turned up and has black on the stem? I’ve never seen this. Stains clothing and sticks to your shoes and skin. Will try killing it off and plant a new grass from seed. Horrible stuff

I dislike Bermuda grass so much I had to comment. I'm sure it's great on golf courses but looks terrible as a home lawn. It seems nobody takes care of it so the lawn looks like tall fuzzy hair and weeds stick out like a sore thumb. Palisade Zoyzia on the other hand, AMAZING home lawn. Maybe the best but so expensive. Palisade had been my dream lawn but it's cost prohibitive for me.

Lots of cope in this video
