This is always shocking to me.


Do you NOT recommend bermuda? I have a terrible centipede yard that I’m also strongly considering transitioning to bermuda. Reasons why I shouldn’t?

Also, what’s everyone using for top dressing? Lady at Cleggs is telling me river silt.

NOOOO!!! There's about 50% chance it'll contain torpedo grass or torpedo grass seeds.

Use play/construction/masonry sand only. Many will recommend adding compost, but this is unecessary ($$).

Bermuda is a superior grass to Centipede, but requires higher maintenance. It's for lawn lovers. Definitely not for everyone.

If you have full sun it’s 100% perfect for Bermuda. It is the far superior grass. I don’t say that because I like it. I like it because it’s superior. It is the best with foot traffic, dog pee, drought, and heat. It is the most chemical tolerant and the highest forgiveness.

You should have slapped that lady in the mouth for wanting to give you torpedo grass.

Look at what it takes to keep it up and make sure you're up for it.
