Features

• Bermuda grass adapts to most temperate climates and tolerates adverse conditions such as drought and salt air exposure. Planting methods include seed, sprigs, plugs and sod. Established Bermuda grass spreads through underground rhizomes, above-ground stolons and seed heads. The grass does not tolerate shade locations.
  
  

Mowing Height

• Bermuda grass requires frequent mowing. Mowing height depends on the turf usage. Golf greens, for example, are often mowed at 3/16 inch or less daily, while home lawns are mowed at 1 inch or less every five to seven days. Mow grass before it reaches 2 inches. This encourages deep roots and healthy turf.
  
  

Mowers

• Use reel mowers for smooth Bermuda grass mowing. The reels adjust more accurately for close cropping than flat-bladed rotary mowers. Rotary mowers require flat ground for satisfactory Bermuda trims.
