Bermuda Grass is one of the most sun loving warm season lawn and pasture grasses.  Bermuda can be easily planted from grass seed and provides a good "medium plus" turfgrass lawn in Southern areas.  Bermuda turf requires a moderate amount of lawn grass care, maintenance and mowing.

Bermuda grass  (PICTURE ABOVE) was brought to America in the 1500's from Africa via the Spaniards.  Since that time has developed from the basic forage grass into one of the major grass species used on the most exclusive golf greens worldwide. This grass is a perennial sod former, dark green, drought resistant, low growing, fast repairing, full sun, has fair salt tolerance, can be mown closely, forms a dense turf,  goes into dormancy when temperatures drop below 60 degrees and greens up fast when temperatures rise. Once only grown from sod or sprigged t is now available as seed in both common and improved varieties.  Bermuda spreads by rhizomes and stolons and is a highly diversified grass.

Lawns planted in Bermudagrass can attain full lawn coverage in one year.  It is not uncommon for seeded Bermuda lawns to be established within 60-90 days.  This grass is one of the few warm season coverage that will grow a little further north in colder climates. It will turn brown at the first dip in temperature though.  Look for more cold tolerant varieties. In the more warmer tropical south, during average rainfall years, Bermuda will retain a beautiful green color all year round. This grass can be grown on low to high maintenance schedules depending upon the usage.
