I’m in Los Angeles….i have st Augustine in my front yard and zoysia in the back….been cutting them both at 2 inches for 10 years wondering why my grass is always dead 😂…thanks to u I let it grow and started cutting at 3 inches and now I’m at 4….i finally have green grass yall 😂😂😂😂
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 keep telling my neighbor he needs to keep his SA at 3-4 inches. He's jealous of my Tahoma 31 and thinks he can just cut his low to get the same look. His SA is always light green and struggling.
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.
I’m trying Dog Tuff grass plugs which are similar to Bermuda. However this grass is sterile and only propagates via runners. Do you have any videos on how continue propagating this, versus buying new plugs? Thanks!
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!
I wish you had done as much grass p0rn for zoysia as you did with bermuda. I'd like to get an idea of what it looks like. All i saw was the leaves when you briefly talked about it. I have bermuda but it doesn't look like yours. I hate St Augustine - it looks like crabgrass and when you walk across it, it trips you with its runners.
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.
Don't be fooled on zoysia, it hates shade. I love my zoysia tho. If you have shade you just can't have regular grass. Try dwarf mondo grass. All of the areas i have zoysia under shade - the zoysia is weak looking and far more prone to weeds.
@@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.

Nicely done comparison!

It is for sure! It just isn’t common where I live in Texas. Went with the three most common in our area .

Lawn Insider. Which grass type is your personal favorite?
Would you know why my bermuda grass is turning lemon lime color in certain areas?
Thanks from Kyle, Texas!

Would love a video on the difference between St Augustine and crabgrass... Jk, but not really. 😂
I hear you. I can't tell the difference either.

Is bahia good?
