Awesome video bro. I love how Bermuda grass is able to fill in. There’s a ton of it on my campus and I’ve watched it go dormant and wake back up. It’s pretty amazing how resilient it is

[@XC2long4u]

I'm planning on doing a mix of tall fescue and perennial rye. I might get some fine fescue for the 100% shade areas but I don't like how different it looks with the other grasses. I'm in the Sacramento area and we hit 110°+ in July.
My neighbor's house has 100% dallisgrass coverage. She's letting me kill off her lawn and re-seed. If the Bermuda dies off I can take plugs from my lawn and put them in her lawn next summer.

[@Zen_space]

If the temps get that hot on the regular I would suggest having a solid watering schedule would be your best bet. That way you can still go with the grass you want. That watering schedules gotta be tight though.

[@gerradgeorge5148]

LITERALLY about to purchase my rye and see your new video. Ok I’ll watch lol

[@TurfMechanic]

Hope it helps! Leave any questions below and I'll answer in depth asap.

Oklahoma here, and fact. In the last week of December, there's been a deep, devastating frost the last two years I've been here and I'm banking on a third. The first 'frost' is Mid-November, but that usually just takes out the crabgrass and makes the Nutsedges pop their chutes and go dormant.

[@enzomoya1689]

I was reading the label for Barricade pre-emergent and it says you CAN do both! 6 to 8 weeks before putting rye seed or after seeding when the root is in the 2nd inch of dirt. Im in Bakersfield so my rye dies out on its own.

[@Job-e9c]

If you're planning to keep bermuda in that lawn space, have you thought about killing off the bermuda you have and overseeding with a cold, tolerant, hybrid bermuda grass like Northbridge Bermuda grass?

[@gerradgeorge5148]

So couple of things now that I’ve watched.
I’m actually doing perennial rye overseed on my Bermuda backyard. I’m thinking I’ll scalp it down in a week or 2 and end my Bermuda in the back early for the season to give the rye more time. Perineal should be stronger over winter right? I know it will also be harder to kill too? But if. Scalp the rye down and use a selective herbicide in say late March, early April when my Bermuda normally comes out of dormancy, will I have similar issues? Or does perineal behave differently? Also with your cutting Bermuda at different heights, what effect on dormancy would you think that would have? Will tall Bermuda go dormant first or would short ?

[@austinedwards9889]

Can you seed Bermuda with good results? I currently have a fescue (k31/clover) lawn, which looks great fall-spring, but I am looking to switch to a more heat/drought summer turf. I live in northern ca. 530

[@jon9509]

If your k31 is coming out of dormancy in the fall just fine I wouldn't go bermuda. You're unlikely to ever be able to come back completely from that decision and there are plenty of newer varieties of cool season grass, especially tall fescues, with great drought / heat tolerance.

[@austinedwards9889]

@jon9509 I'm leaning towards something that goes dormant in the cooler months vs the summer. Where I live it gets over a 100 degrees for a month straight. It gets really expensive trying to give it enough water to stay alive and be usable. Approximately 6,500 square feet
