Today's video gives a very brief overview of the three most common types of warm season lawns (especially here in Texas), bermuda, St. Augustine, and zoysia. These turf types can be found in warmer climates across the globe, but each offers there own unique sets of advantages, disadvantages, and challenges.

You seem to be in a similar situation to me, 10 years ago. When I moved to my house, I had a beautiful Bermuda lawn, and 2 sapling trees. Those trees are now 20 ft tall, and it doesn’t get the sun it needs. First lawn died out, I had it resodded and that lasted 2 years and died out. Now I have zoysia and a beautiful looking lawn once again. I see those smaller trees in your yard, but be prepared to switch to Zoysia when those become full on shade trees.

I am looking to do some seed pre-germination in a 5 gallon bucket? Ever done this with success? If so, trying to figure out the best seed to use for Bermuda grass.

Would you know why my bermuda grass is turning lemon lime color in certain areas? Thanks from Kyle, Texas!

Often happens because of wrong fertilizer application (usually from dog pee). I’d check ph levels and make sure you are applying enough N and K to bring it to a nice green.

I have found St Augustine to be very drought tolerant, perform exceptionally well in shade and have had only minimal issues with fungus/disease; mostly from overwatering and evening watering. I now water with a Raicho and schedule my watering to end by sunrise and only 1-2 days a week to get roots to grow deeper. The Bermuda I have had in the past has also been very drought resistant and even if it dies, it will be back next season or when the water comes; it’s like a cockroach in a nuclear disaster, it will survive. Both are good grasses and comes down to exactly what you have said, preference!

Would love a video on the difference between St Augustine and crabgrass... Jk, but not really. 😂

@mariebee3146 12 күн бұрын

@@CourtannicaBahia sucks. Doesn't grow thick so weeds are a problem and there aren't a lot of herbicides that are safe for bahia. If you can avoid it, avoid it.
