Any landscaping afficionados out there?

seed? if so use scotts EZ seed. I used it for about half my lawn that the builder didn't sod and a year or so later, I couldn't even tell the difference between the sodded lawn and the seeded
parts

From what I remember from dealing with Bermuda on football fields:

1) you want to make sure a chance for a hard freeze has passed before the grass begins to come up.

2) Keep moist

3) not sure about a date for North Texas...but don't think you want a chance of a hard freeze on newly growing grass.

4) If you keep it in a constant state of moisture the Bermuda can take heat...and warm nights is almost a "fertilizer" for Bermuda.

5) I would err on the side of planting a little late rather than a little early.

yes it's all Bermuda. in the front yard there is a patch under our tree that was St Augustine however there was a huge ice storm here over the winter that knocked down some branches that I think will allow Bermuda to grow.

in the backyard I have about a 10 x 8 area of St Augustine where previous home owners had a dog pen. rest of the yard is Bermuda. what should I do there?

so you're saying sand patches instead of seed?

Hard as hell to get it out of my st. Augustine

Repeated applications of Atrazine will keep Bermuda grass in check.

Repeated applications of MSMA and Sencore, and lots of water, fertilizer, and full sun will turn any yard into common Bermuda.
