Bare Spots in Bermuda
If you've been struggling with bare areas in your lawn despite your best efforts, you're not alone. It’s a common frustration for homeowners, especially when it seems like you’re doing everything right. Let’s break down why some common strategies might not work as planned and how to set your lawn up for success.
What Went Wrong?
Sometimes, the right techniques are applied at the wrong time. For example:
De-Thatching: For Bermuda grass, dethatching during April or May can disrupt its natural growth cycle as it transitions into the growing season.
Overseeding: Overseeding Bermuda grass should ideally be done during its peak growth period in June or July, when the soil is warm, and the grass is most active.
Skipping Professional Treatments: Lawn care treatments provide vital nutrients and weed control, which are especially critical during growth transitions. Opting out during these times can hinder progress.
What Should You Do?
Don’t worry- your lawn can still become lush and beautiful with the right approach! Here’s how:
Stick to a Treatment Program: Consistency is key. Enrolling in a professional treatment program ensures your lawn receives the nutrients, weed control, and expert care it needs. Timing and regularity are crucial, so don’t deviate from the schedule!
Be Patient: Bermuda grass takes time to spread and fill bare spots. You’ll likely need at least one full growing season to see significant improvement.
Consider Sod for Instant Results: If you’re looking for a quick fix, installing new sod can provide instant coverage and a beautiful lawn while your existing grass recovers.
