medium particle size which is neither too fine nor too coarse. And it needs to be lime-free, so sea sand won&#39;t do. This type of topsoil is good for smoothing and levelling the lawn&#39;s surface and also helps improve soil composition.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-type-of-sand-should-i-use-to-topdress-your-lawn\"><\/span>What type of sand should I use to Topdress your lawn?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Can we use and there&#39;s a lot of choices out there and the most common is going to be just plain<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MLbQKfldvdw?autoplay=0&#038;fs=0&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;start=0&#038;end=0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-level-bermuda-with-sand\"><\/span>How do you level Bermuda with sand?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You will use the back end of the rake.

Although remarkably drought tolerant, Bermuda grass goes partially dormant and browns in extremely dry conditions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-should-i-sand-my-bermuda-grass\"><\/span>When should I sand my Bermuda grass?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For fescue, do it in fall just before you plant seed. For bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, centipedegrass and St. Augustinegrass, do it in May.

Topdressing is best done on Bermuda lawns in mid May and June. Core-aerating before topdressing is also a good practice. It is important that distinct soil layers are not formed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-i-get-my-bermuda-grass-to-thicken-up\"><\/span>How do I get my Bermuda grass to thicken up?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best way to make Bermuda grass thicker is to feed the lawn with slow-release nitrogen fertilizer such as Milorganite, then water it once per week to improve its growth rate. Also, mowing slightly lower will improve lateral growth and make the lawn thicker and fuller.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-mowing-bermuda-grass-help-it-grow\"><\/span>Does mowing Bermuda grass help it grow?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>By mowing Bermuda grass frequently (once per week) to under 1 inch in height, you encourage Bermuda grass to grow laterally along the ground, rather than up, which will result in a thicker lawn. Simply changing your mowing height can go a long way to turning a patchy Bermuda lawn into a lush paradise.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-you-bag-bermuda-grass-clippings\"><\/span>Should you bag Bermuda grass clippings?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So you&#39;re probably going to want to bag it at the very 1st of the year and try to kind of pick up<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZF8AmtwTR8c?autoplay=0&#038;fs=0&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;start=0&#038;end=0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-best-fertilizer-for-bermuda-grass\"><\/span>What is best fertilizer for Bermuda grass?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best fertilizer for Bermuda grass will have an N-P-K ratio that&#39;s high in nitrogen, contains little or no phosphorus, and may include a small amount of potassium. For example, an NPK ratio of 16-0-8 contains 16 percent nitrogen, no phosphorus, and 8 percent potassium. This is a great ratio for Bermuda grass.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-best-height-to-cut-bermuda-grass\"><\/span>What is the best height to cut Bermuda grass?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Set the mowing height at 1 to 2 inches for Common bermudagrass and 1\/2 to 11\/2 inches for hybrid varieties. Remove no more than one-third of the leaf area with any one mowing. The lower the mowing height, the more frequently you will need to mow.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-cut-bermuda-at-3-inches\"><\/span>Can I cut Bermuda at 3 inches?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best time to mow your common Bermuda is when it reaches a height of about three inches. Therefore- after cutting off one-inch (one-third of three-inches), you should be left with about two-inches of lush green common Bermuda grass.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-often-should-bermuda-grass-be-cut\"><\/span>How often should Bermuda grass be cut?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Every 5 to 7 days<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-my-bermuda-grass-brown-after-mowing\"><\/span>Why is my Bermuda grass brown after mowing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Why Does Bermuda Grass Turn Brown After Mowing? There is a simple explanation. If bermuda grass gets too long, the lower part of the grass blade is hidden from the sun and will turn brown. Once you mow, the brown part is exposed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-water-bermuda-grass-too-much\"><\/span>Can you water Bermuda grass too much?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although you cannot see the soil below, overwatering Bermuda grass causes extensive compacted conditions. Water droplets impacting the grass slowly descend onto the soil &#8212; these particles form a tight bond, closing off below-ground air pockets. Your grass roots need oxygen, as well as loose soil for ample spread.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-many-times-a-week-should-i-water-bermuda-grass\"><\/span>How many times a week should I water Bermuda grass?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bermuda Grass Water Requirements Water 2 times per week, providing 0.75 inches of water per session (1.5 inches per week). Adequate water can be delivered in 30\u201360 minutes by a standard sprinkler. Watering should moisten soil down to 4\u20136 inches. Push a screwdriver into the soil after watering.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-causes-bare-spots-in-bermuda-grass\"><\/span>What causes bare spots in Bermuda grass?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The brown patches or dead spots will start to show during the warmth of the hot summer days and the moisture from nighttime irrigation you do on your bermuda grass lawn. With time, fungal residue inhibits photosynthesis, as the fungi gradually spread across the grass leaves, leaving dead spots on the infested areas.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-you-overseed-bermuda\"><\/span>Should you overseed Bermuda?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best time to overseed a Bermuda grass lawn is during spring. This timing is appropriate for most warm-season turfgrasses because it is the best for optimum growth of grass seed due to the favorable soil temperature. Always overseed with the exact same variety for uniformity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-can-i-make-bermuda-spread-faster\"><\/span>How can I make Bermuda spread faster?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While bermudagrass requires just about 1\u2033 of water per week, on average, giving it a little more or watering deeply once a week in addition to 5 to 10 minutes of daily watering can help encourage it to spread.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"will-dead-bermuda-sod-come-back\"><\/span>Will dead Bermuda sod come back?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dead grass isn&#39;t coming back, so you&#39;ll need to take steps to regrow your lawn. You can replace the grass by seeding or sodding \u2014 or installing a new type of landscaping material such as mulch, rocks or groundcover.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-put-topsoil-over-dead-grass\"><\/span>Can you put topsoil over dead grass?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#39;re adding topsoil to fix dead patches, you&#39;ll only need to add a 1\/8- to 1\/4-inch layer of topsoil over dead or dying areas. That translates to between 0.4 and 0.8 cubic yards of topsoil for every 1,000 square feet of lawn. Fill up a bucket and then gently spread the topsoil over the area.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-you-mow-dormant-grass\"><\/span>Should you mow dormant grass?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Generally, it&#39;s best to mow your lawn before the dormant period starts. This allows the grass to grow healthier after dormancy, preventing damage from fungi and bacterial growth. During dormancy, the grass is subject to great stress, and growth is minimal. Mowing during that period is not a good practice.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-my-bermuda-grass-not-turning-green\"><\/span>Why is my Bermuda grass not turning green?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As a warm-season grass, Bermuda struggles to produce chlorophyll as temperatures drop, causing it to lose color gradually. It goes completely dormant if temperatures reach the freezing point. Temperatures below 55\u2109 (13\u2103) cause Bermuda grass to struggle to produce chlorophyll, turning it brown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What kind of sand do you use for Bermuda grass?
