Doc talks about pre-scalping the lawn which makes the full lawn scalp in a few weeks a lot easier. This is also the time think about preemergent and the mild starting fertilizer.

I did my scalp yesterday. But I also had to dethatch on top of that. I haven't dethatched the yard since it was installed as sod back in 2016. Added PGF and some pre emergent on top of that. I'm excited about the upcoming growing season. Thanks for all your advice, Doc.

I was raised on Bermuda lawns. I just bought my first house and it's got a tall fescue yard. Pretty neglected. But I think with your teachings I'll bring this thing back to life, I'll be following your fescue calendar! Wish me luck!

If you can in your climate, ditch the tall fescue if at all possible. It's so much more involved to get it right because it doesn't spread.

Oh for sure. That's in the plans when it becomes more financially viable in a couple years. I'll have the whole yard converted to Bermuda. But for the mean time I've got to give it a chance. So I'll be prepping to seed in the fall on my bald spots. It's crazy to think this was put in the heart of west texas. We see 110° summers!

@@reyboy4284 yeah its gonna be an uphill battle. I'm in Virginia and the medians on the roads become pure bermuda since they don't get any water but rain and all full sun. They don't plant Bermuda.......it just does what bermuda does. Last summers I sod cut my Zoysia-ish front yard out and put Monaco Bermuda. Put the Zoysia in the slightly shaded back yard where my Huskys run. Front yard is insane! Amazing. Doesn't cost as much s you'd think.

Haley doc lawnmaster here I dare you to take your lawn to dirt im going to. I already did a pre scalp and I got some liquid 12-4-8 and 16 4 8 and some deep green from the andersons and I'm also going to use your old-school 16-0-8 as a iron affect . I have also got some certified prevegenics I have some double dark with bio nite I also got some 24-0-11. And some 30-0-10 and I'm following the lawn guides even tho I'm using different kind of fertilizers. Great job keep the hard work youngster . Your also going to need a lot of dirt booster for the rack ranch.? You should make a small golf course to tie into your land I know it's a lot of work but you do have a lot of bermuda their.

What’s better, putting pre emergent down late or on a saturated lawn? I got 120lbs of Anderson pre emergent in my garage and really don’t want to waste it. I’m in SC and can’t seem to catch a break from the rain long enough for my Bermuda lawn to dry. About half the lawn is squishy from constant rains. I worry that March 15th will come and go before it dries enough to put down pre emergent. Should that happen, what would be the ‘lesser of the two evils’? Is there a ballpark estimate when you’d consider it too late for pre emergent all together?
