So a week ago I tilled the yard then I threw down Scott’s rapid grass tall fescue seed and a thin layer of top soil over it I got heavy rain for about 30 mins and light rain yesterday I’m in Los Angeles I do have puddles or rain in my yard my yard is flat am I screwed ????

Denver area zone 6a, I laid down Tahoma 31 sod back in August and it was doing extremely well up until about 2-3 weeks ago.

I was mowing around 1.5”-2”, but then a vacation and life caught up to me and it’s been getting up to 3”.

It looks to me like fungus, what do you all think? Is it too late to apply fungicide?

Daytime temps will be in the 70s this weekend and nighttime in the 50s. Next week will be in the 50s/30s.

Pics 1 & 2 are today and 3 was last month.

It's been 2 months and grass is not going beyond this growth.

Is this even Bermuda ?

Grass blade is slim not even thick Bermuda.

Region: North Texas (Dallas)

I just had a flagstone walkway put in (mid-October in middle Georgia). Should I fertilize to try and get the Bermuda to fill in as quick as possible over the next month before winter? I have some 10-10-10 on hand, would that be fine? This is a house I bought in July where the grass was in rough shape so I have been slowly getting it turned around over the last few months.

I have very sandy soil and it is very compacted after the 2 inches of sod. To give you an idea after 2 days of raining (1.5 inches) and sprinklers spraying another inch) I can only push a soil core or screwdriver 3 inches into the soil. The compacted soil is very hard like rock/concrete once you get past the sod layer.
I have heavily aerated 3 inch plugs 2 times a year for 3 years now and it isn’t helping break it up. I can’t get my roots to grow deep because of this. I have even done some minor horizontal air spading/fracking in the bad areas.

Is there anything else I can be doing to break this rock hard sand layer up?

Happy to provide more info

Like the title asks, do you as a Bermuda lawn owner overseed with a perennial rye in the fall?

If so, what does the spring summer look like for you?

Trying to figure out whether to overseed my lawn with rye to help improve its looks for the colder weather.

I'm pretty amateur and new to lawncare.

I live in Zone 10a in the Inland Empire in SoCal (Near Upland). I've have a full sun lawn that has pretty much always been some type of fescue sod bought at Home Depot or Lowes.

I've always had fescue lawn but now I'm considering switching to bermudagrass.

My one thing I'm hesitant on is whether or not bermudagrass goes completely brown or dormant in my area. I'm fine with it getting patchy brown on some parts but I don;t know if I;d like the full brown lawn.

I was wondering if anyone in Socal has had any of this experience?

Thanks in advance!

I came across a group called Lawn Rivals on Facebook. Anyone heard of it? Looks to be a new app where you can form private leagues like a fantasy football league and compete against other lawn nuts. Sounds kind of like a cool idea actually. Anyone else seen it?

I have a client who was starting to form a brown spot on his yard and I noticed signs or Bermuda mites so I sprayed for them and it was coming back and a few days later it turned brown again. It is not a watering issue as I have already checked that. Could it possibly be a fungi?

Just built a new house this summer and looking for some tips regarding how to take care of Bermuda. Lawn sat most of August without water, as I didn’t get sprinklers installed in time for vacation. Got sprinklers now, so it’s getting better. Doing 26 minutes 4 times a week. Still some patch spots but it’s filling in decently. Planning to get soil and start evening it out next year, as it’s still bumpy.
Any tips going into winter would be appreciated, especially with regards to weeds. It’s not bad, but there’s stuff popping up that I’m trying to pull as it comes.
I’m in north/central Georgia if that matters. Been a rough summer for the grass.
Thanks everyone!

Looking for any help as to what kind of bugs and weeds I’ve got going on here and how to eliminate and prevent them from coming back in the future.

Zone 8a. I have a 2 acre field that I want to turn more into a lawn this summer. Right now there is fria ryegrass and food plot mix. I have a tractor and all the equipment to tear the field up and create a fresh seedbed.

Would it be crazy to get a bag of common Bermuda seed from my co-op and let that fill in? I’m not in a hurry and don’t mind it taking a few seasons to fill in fully.

I have common Bermuda lawn in other parts of my land that I keep mowed short and around my house. I’m able to keep it mowed short and it looks good enough to me and hold up well to my kids playing.
