Wedding at the farm! Bahai to a nice stand of Bermuda?

what’s wrong with the Bahia? When mowed it makes the thickest lawn you’ll ever see. Nice and soft too

The best way to get it would be to nuke, disc, harrow, sod then fill the cracks with sand

That will be very expensive though, but you’d have the most beautiful acre of grass you’d want. You want to fertilize and spray for weeds.

All that said though, depending how far south you are, Bermuda would be dormant in 6 mths.

Too much work. Just mow the bahia

I would mow that acre every week or two til November. Then mow it the day before the tent is setup Bahia looks great mowed.

If don’t want Bahia then overseed with ryegrass. Should be good and green by November if you get rain

This. Mow it consistently and level it with sand if you can. Spray for weeds if you want at the right time for the bahia to take over the dead spots.

Then lightly overseed with rye.

I will say that rye can produce grass stains more than a lot of grasses, but that seems like an accepted risk here.

I mean, I water it, cut it often, spread pre-emergent this spring, sprayed for weeds once, and spread 33-0-0 once. Looks absolutely fantastic in just under a year. I have a 1.25 acre lot.

It’s definitely not a full-time job. But irrigation is the key (and hot weather) which the OP doesn’t have.

My lawn is in here. This was a month ago. The lawn looked really nice already after a few months though.

Beautiful. I seriously would look to level out big dips in areas that will get foot traffic. Don’t want grandma to sprain an ankle.

For sure!
