I need a giant poster of everything in this video to stick on the wall in my garage
This is one of the easiest guides to follow...... I go back to this video monthly to see what I should be doing thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I am starting the first fall of a restored Bermuda grass yard and can't wait to get past the scalping.
Great info doc, i live in the metro Atlanta so your calender is spot on for this part of the country,keep up the good job.
We reel mow a few Bermuda lawns and we also spray growth regulators once a month from May to August. I totally agree on your calendar of events.
Glad I found these videos. Texas here, I am taking notes! Thank you doc.
I've finally found someone as much a lawn fanatic as I am!
Can't wait to fertilize, mow, areate, trip every winter leading up into the spring. My problem is I have 4 acres of grass and no irrigation system, so I'm at the mercy of rain on Sandy soil. I do try to keep area in backyard and close around house nicer. The rest of it just goes with the weather trend.
Happy mowing
Super excellent and informative video. I thought I was one of the few “perfectionist” “OCD” who constantly manicured his Bermuda grass - ha! Nice to know there are others who also really care about pride if ownership. I learned quite a bit from your video. Thank you.
I've just purchased my first home, this is exactly what I needed to keep me on track to have a beautiful lawn. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
New homeowner, our restate agent told us to fertilize our lawn. I am so glad your video came up as a recommendation. I know I will be hooked watching many of your video's. Thank you for this very educational tutorial!!! ~*Shana and family.
I just bought a new house in N. Georgia with Bermuda sod in the front lawn. Had terrible amounts of crabgrass and other weeds. Using your tips I’ve gotten rid of almost all the weeds! Bermuda’s looking real nice now. I still have to figure out how to seed the back since it has contractors rye grass. I’m gonna check out a local nursery for some good Bermuda seed.
I’m a subscriber now after watching 2 of your videos. I currently have the worlds worst Bermuda lawn :/ but with your help, I’m confident that I can bring it back to life!!! Thank you!!
I've watched a lot of videos on Bermuda grass and this is the best one. It all makes sense now.
very very helpful for me as I had no clue how to take care of my Bermuda grass. Boy after six years of lawn service it looks so bad that I decided to take things into my own hands. Ill try to keep ya'll updated Thank you so much Doc.
I need to tweak that calendar for SE Texas because we are warm into early November. It is 11/12/2021 & we have highs in the upper 70s low 80s till next week. In Feb we get warm days, but for us our Spring calendar starts that 1st week in March. -- Thanks for this video, very helpful.
You are my new favorite person THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🍃🍃🍃🍃
Thanks for the video. i just started growing my yard last year and I had it all wrong although it looks nice. I will be using this as my guide from now on
Love this! So comfortably informative. Webby Award Worthy!
I love this video I learn a lot. I have been watching your other videos too and thanks for all the information that you giving us.
My wife and I just purchased our first ever house, and I am excited to finally have a lawn. The builder put down sod in the front and sides (I believe it was Tifway 419). We closed around Christmas and they laid the sod while hit was already dormant. They also put it on red clay with no topsoil underneath. It hasn't taken root yet, and you can still see the sod lines, but trying to get a head start so it will start growing rapidly once it heats up.
I also think you said in a previous video not to put any pre emergent on new sod, but I am getting some crab grass growing through in a few spots that I don't want to get out of hand.
Lastly, I can't really afford 4 pallets of sod for the back yard, and they put down fescue, but was thinking of overseeing that with Princess 77 seed, since that seems to be the only hybrid bermuda seed I can find that would work where we live (Charlotte area).
this guy knows what he's talking about
Great info Doc! Thanks.
Thank you Doc!
Excellent and Easy! Wish we could get a printed calendar with these tips on it!
fantastic video, Doc! I'll be following your easy instruction and looking forward to having a best lawn on my street next year!
Thank you Doc good advice thanks again
we live in South West Texas and just had a brand new Bermuda Lawn put in (14 Palettes). We don’t have a sprinkler system, we are hand watering it at this time, spinkler system might come next year. OK..after the sod was put in, it was really, really LUMPY..it makes it tough to fertilize as well as to mow. I plan on renting a Water Wheel from Home Depot next year before the grass starts to grow, and I’ll wet the lawn and run the heavy Water Wheel over the entier area to try and level it out. Our Landscaper told us that we shouldn’t dethatch the lawn here in Texas due to the poor soil and high heat..so we won’t do that unless he tells us to do it. We have a lot of different kinds of weeds or grass types that shouldn’t be in the lawn and we don’t know what they are called or how to treat them. We WILL go and buy some Pre emergent tomorrow at Home Depot and start treating it right away, we LOVE your videos and its so darn full of great information!...
Amazing , thanks Doc .
Dang I wish I had a house with a lawn like that NICE
Great video. When should I seed my lawn? It’s still dormant. I’m in North Carolina. Starting with a short cut this week and a pre emergent.
Awesome, and informative, video! Living in AL I have about the same climate but had a question.
When spraying, the 30-0-0, prior to using the granular, 20-5-10, do you just use a hand-held sprayer? Im assuming process kills two birds with one stone by not having to wait for rain to dissolve the granular and also give is an extra boost being a liquid fertilizer. I guess I’m thinking that MAYBE isn’t always needed, or could burn the grass, unless you do it distribute and use it properly, if that’s safe to say?
Hi Doc...stumbled across this video and it was very insightful. Thank You! I'm a new homeowner living in the Los Angeles area. Would you still recommend following your monthly schedule plans for taking care of Bermuda grass in my area?
Also, due to the high heat temperatures that we experienced this summer, some areas of my lawn have browned out as if the grass has gone dormant. I thought maybe the lawn needed more water and increased the time for the sprinklers which made a little bite of a difference. Any suggestions on how to fix this as we are heading into September?
God bless you for sharing the wealth!!! I bought my first home in December and have “green goals” for my lawn. I needed this diy guidance. What do you say to Lime applications in Sept??? I’m in central Alabama.
We have a LOT of rain in winter here in La, so I cut my bermuda short so the ground will dry up.
Your lawn s amazing
I so wish to have one like yours
Iam new to gardening so i font understand when you give the ratios and exactly what 3 products are they for?
Thanks
Great info. I took a lot of notes. Thanks
Thank u for the video . I have two questions. How to overseed / reseed lawn? And how about burning the lawn to get rid of thatch?
Hi Doc, so thankful for your advice. If you haven't yet seeded the lawn and it's full of weeds, what's a good time to put the grass seed in and when do you put the pre-emergent? Does the calendar work in California?
I can not tell you how much this helps me!!! I own dog kennels. My step dad owns a landscaping company & installed Bermuda sod for us late fall. But I have NO idea how to take care of grass and I needed these tips so I can keep the grass nice for the dogs!! Your lawn looks great
Make sure you see the new 2019 calendar... :)
First off, your videos are EXTREMELY helpful! What pre-emergent do you use? I was going to put down prodiamine 65wdg but wanted to get your opinion on it.
Thank you.
Great Video! Thank you!
Great information. Do you think it's too late to do any seeding at this point or should I just focus on negative trying to get rid of crab grass? I'm in Georgia too so it's still relatively warm
Thanks for the great bermuda tips. I live in Georgia too and my front yard is bermuda and doesn't look good. It is thin in spots and I think I need to put some bermuda grass seed to help thicken it up. You didn't mention overseeding in this video. Any advice?? Thanks!
All this is good info but I need to find out the proper way to start a Bermuda lawn. Such as soil prep, when to seed and when and what fertilizer to use.
Hello Doc, thank you for your videos. I read the 2020 guide. In there, I didn't see how to start treating the lawn during late spring and early summer. What do you recommend? I unfortunately found your videos this week. My lawn is not that bad, but it has a lot of weeds.
Hey Doc,
I had a question regarding the time of year for scalping. I will be leaving the country for some work related things during the time you recommend scalping the lawn. Can I get away with doing it before I leave? Say early in the new year? Will those extra 3-4 months make the difference when you scalp?
Thanks in advance!

Hi , Great calendar for Bermuda and advice ! What pre-emergent you suggest to put during this month of September in Georgia for Bermuda ? My lawn has lot of Spurge and Chamberbritter and its poorly controlled by lawn care company so want to get some advice to better control it next year . Thanks again
I'm in Houston, TX and my neighbors run their sprinklers constantly even when it rains. This Feb during the big freeze my backflow broke. I didn't water the lawn all year, just used the rain. Every week it has rained at least 2 days with the exception of 2 weeks. I noticed that I did not need to use the sprinkler. It gets hot down here, but folks water too much. In the summer if we don't have rains, water, otherwise use the rain to your advantage.
Got my Bermuda lawn set up this summer with a truckload of soil and 10 pounds of Arden-15 seed. It looks great, but haven’t really done any treatments besides some fert a couple of times. When it comes to pre-emergent, can I put that down in early/middle Feb using granular? And then will that be ok if I scalp a month later? Also, I do not have a motorized reel mower yet, so I was planning to scalp with the lowest setting on my manual reel mower, will that work?
Hey Doc thanks for the videos; they are really insightful and your message is always delivered in a down-to-earth kinda way. I have a question. I'm here in Atlanta, and was wondering whether to apply the pre emergent along with the 20-10-10 or should I apply the pre emergent first and wait a week or so for the fertilizer? Thanks
Hold off on the pre-emerge for now.
Very educative. Thanks
1st time seeing you videos. I subscribed. Love what you are teaching. But I have a ?, can you post the products you use for fungus and insect control please? Also other brands you use would be helpful
No wonder the old Boomer was yelling at us kids on his lawn back in the day. Seems like a big time commitment.
More power to you Sir, I'll be in the garage turning a wrench. 😁
Thanks for the video.. can u also tell me when to bag the clippings and when not?
Hi your video is so great. I just have a question. We moved into our house January 2019. The new Bermuda sod had been planted the previous September. I just recently had a guy put a gentle weed killer on the lawn and it seem to work. Before then I had done no fertilization because everyone kept saying it could kill the grass. So it is July and I do have some diseased spots and a few other issues. Do you have any suggestions? We live in Alabama.
Hi Doc, I'm from Australia and was wondering whether I can just flip this calendar by six months to reflect our seasons for couch (bermuda)?
Great video. I want to seed my lawn with hulled hybrid bermuda. Is this a good time? I'm in Southern California.
Just bought a new home here in Texas 8a. My new Bermuda sod is just showing signs of green. I need to top dress to level lawn. When would you recommend this step. Thanks for the great informational videos!
Do you recommend Weed Stop as a pre emergent or Sunniland 20-0-6 weed and feed ?
Doc....Just watched your calendar video and it was awesome. I live in Charlotte where we have a clay soil, as do you in Atlanta. We have a community yard service, and we have terrible looking yards. Granted, we have only been here for a year and a half, so it's a small sample to use. I believe that they don't know how to care for bermuda grass, and it is driving me crazy, for I am a lawn nerd. First of all, do you use a reel mower or a standard lawn mower with a bag attachment. Also, do you have a list of fertilizers that you use for your yard, and are they granular as well as liquid form. When you overseed, what kind of seed do you use. I appreciate the time that you take to share this information, and I look forward to seeing more of your video
New lawn guy here. I had nohting but dirt to start with. I put Rye grass seed down in October. Lawn looks amazing. How do I prep and plan for Bermuda though? Is it as simple as drying out the Rye, scalping, and planting Bermuda grass seed? Or is ther bermuda already underneath my Rye grass that I don't know about? Any insight helps! Thanks!
You have a really nice lawn, what part of Georgia do you live? I live in Roswell and I work for a lawn company, very good information 👍
Hello. I am having a home built in central Oklahoma and it will be done sometime around the first part of July. It will be sodded with Bermuda. I have never owned a home before and I really want a nice lawn, it is a must!! I like your calendar however with sod going down in July in OK it will be hot. Any suggestions on new sod being laid in the middle of the year? Can I put pre-emergent down on freshly laid sod to help it grow/root in addition to watering? Thanks for your input!
Hi Doc please help! I recently moved on some land that has LOTS of dead grass choking the Bermuda. I've hoed and raked one side of the lawn so I can put seeds and soil out. When should I put the pre-emergent..in the bare soil or wait for green grass to grow?
#newhomeowner
Hey Doc,
1st of August and I have another type of grass trying to take over. Do you recommend cutting that portion low and overseeding or what until dormant season? Is it possible to send a picture of my yard?
Your grass IS amazing! The advice is clear!!
What pre-emergent do you use?
www.howtowithdoc.com/docs-product-links/preemergent-bermuda-grass/
Doc, I appreciate all of the Great videos. Question for you. What pre-emergent are you using on your Bermuda grass? Can I use the same pre-emergent on Zoysia? Thank you.!!
How would you prevent bermuda from growing up into a raised bed? I love it in the lawn, but it is aggressively trying to grow into my beds.
great info thanks
Hey doc....I have a lot of weeds in my lawn. Can I scalp my lawn, put down pre-emergence then fertilizer? Sod is approximately 6-8 months old. Thanks in advance
New subscriber & so happy I found your channel. I am in zone 8A & I planted fruit trees in my back yard. Can you recommend alternative organic ways to treat the grass in that area? I want to keep the chemicals away from the fruit trees to keep the fruit as organic as possible. Thxs.
Hi Doc, thank you for your videos much appreciated. My question is what is the difference between scalping and dethatching I'm confused isn't it the same thing??
scalping means cutting it short. detaching removes the dead grass sitting on the soil that is built up from mowing, leaves, and other garbage.
My lawn is full of Weeds. I'm just now getting started on working on my lawn. Is it okay to do weed killer now since I missed January/February per your calendar?
I’m nNew to this and following your calendar. When is the best type of Bermuda seed and when should I overseed? Right now, I'm focusing on weed control.
Hey Doc i need your advice. I have Bermuda in Waxhaw, NC near Charlotte. I thought i scalped 2 weeks ago but per your height measurement i didn't go low enough. Is it ok to scalp now in second half of April?
I have a new house with a new Bermuda lawn it was installed in November 2020 and this will be the first summer. I’ve noticed some weed coming up and the lawn is still brown. Can I do a pre emergent to kill the weeds? If so what do you recommend or do i need to spot treat it, there is a lot.
Thanks
What brand of pre-emergent should I use on my Bermuda grass
Just found out about you from a neighbor down the street who has been following your program. Beautiful lawn. My lawn needs help badly. Since I’m behind your schedule, what can I do now to get on track with your program?
Doc, can you advise on best ways to deal with volunteer centipede or St Augustine grass invading my Tifway 419 lawn without killing the good lawn? I am in southeast NC. Thanks...
Good morning Doc can you tell me how much water do I need to water my grass with a manual watering system you know the kind that you have to attach to the water holes and a drag from one corner to the next
How often do you use pre emergent and what brand should I use?
Maybe a dumb question but does your super juice pretty much cover all the fertilizer needs year round other than pre emerg?
Do you recommend scalping for cool season grasses?
Doc, do you have (or know of) a similar calendar for St Augustine ? Thanks
I live in Arizona where's it's already been 100 degrees, is it too late to apply fertilizers? I've never had a lawn before
Glad I stumbled across your videos and subscribed, good stuff! Maybe I overlooked it, but do you have this calendar in a PDF or Word 'Doc' (pun intended) form to download/print from your website? I'd love to print these instructions and the products you use posted in my house somewhere readily available as a daily/monthly reminder. Thank you!
When it's ready... next month, we'll have it.
I was looking on the website for a printable too. Will love to see it!
Great info. I was just getting ready to overseed my Bermuda grass before seeing your video. Question. Our house is fairly new. Build in Mid Oct. I have been pulling weeds and getting rid of them with weed killer and stand up puller. How do I address the patchy spots? I'm guess I should skip weed and feed pre-emergent at this point since weeds have already sprouted?
Brandon Lee check out a product called Tenacity. It’s both a pre and post emergent. This time of year is the wrong time of year to put any weed Killer down.
March and April what kind of fertilizer do you use and what is the ratio to use
New lawn 1acre, region 2. Louisiana. Doing 80/20 rye/bermuda. Looking at being ready early October.
Wish it was earlier...
Any bermuda tips specific for new yard?
“Pre emergent is God’s gift to Bermuda Grass” If you only listen to one thing in this video then this should be it. Ask me how I know that skipping pre emergent is a really bad idea! Great video and very informative
What brand of pre-emergent do you use & where did you buy it from?
Good info 👍
I loved the video man keep it up
Hey doc, I just bought a house that’s on very sandy soil in NC. There a mix of a few different grasses with the bulk being Bermuda. The yard is mostly bare and full of weeds. Without any knowledge of what to do, I threw out Bermuda seed the last week of June. I’ve been watering the heck out of it and some of the existing grass is greening up and growing. I really need to mow but I’m scared to hurt what I’ve done with the seed. Can I mow? What can I do to improve my lawn and get rid of the weeds and what kind of timeline do I need to follow. I’m trying to learn what I can from your videos but it’s a ton of info at once. My previous house was on different soil and anything would grow well so I basically just had to do weed control and fertilize here and there. Thanks in advance. If you can point me in the direction of which of your products I need, I’ll gladly use them.
i live in southern AZ and our winter highs are in the 60's so does this change my calendar? I would like to start over with my lawn. Is it too late or too soon. please help
Been dancing, lisin to the drums, got a new knife. it's lawn scalping time. Lmao
Thanks man.
What pre emergent do you recommend for a Texas lawn?
Pre emergent goes on after all weeds are pretty much gone or regardless....?
I’m in north Georgia. My lawn faces West and each spring, I get ground bees in my Bermuda. What is you advice on controlling and also what action to take not to hurt grass while promoting growth during per the calendar.
