re: Watering schedule for new Bermuda sod-- Edited: is it normal for it to still be yellow?
Posted by Greenie10 on 4/21/24 at 1:40 pm
I don't know. It was delivered about 11:00 am on Wed 4/17 and the crew got here about 12:30. The sod was golden. The guy told me it wasn't greened up yet, but that if would . It's greening up lightly here and there, but still goldeny. It's not dried out though. I guess I'll give it some more tim...

The sod was yellow when they installed it on 4/17. The installers said Bermuda hasn't really greened up yet.
I've been watering early morning and early afternoon. I check the soil under the sod and it's moist, but not wet. Should I be watering more?
I didn't water at all yesterday since it s...

I'm finally having Tiftuf Bermuda installed in my backyard this week.
I don't have an irrigation system, but do have 3 Rainbird 5004 sprinkler heads on spikes placed along my patio aimed at the rectangular shaped yard. One is in West corner, one is in the middle, and one is in the East corner....

Got my lawn mostly down to dirt. There are still some dead runners/roots visible, but I am going to be spreading 2 yds of premium soil(a mix of sandy loam and compost), so hopefully that'll be good enough?
My wife does have me rethinking laying the sod by myself though. She says a roll can weig...

I'm in Dallas, which can go all summer without rain and 100+ temps. We have water restrictions and water is expensive here. Bill could easily be $200+ a month in summer.
I want drought tolerant and Bermuda was recommended. I'm open to other types of grass if they use less water and are easy t...

Thanks for the great replies. I really appreciate it.
Can I scalp the lawn this weekend or should I wait until everything is truly dead? It's mostly all yellow now, so it's dying.
Will the compaction of my soil be a problem? It's very compacted.
Thanks again!...

Figured I'd start a new thread since I have many questions. You've convinced me to try this myself. I'm getting Tif Tuf Bermuda btw.
Right now the yard is dying. I applied glyphosate last Monday 3/11. Everything is yellowing nicely.
