re: centipede to bermuda plan... (updated with pics 5/14/24)

I grew up in Houston and the centipede or St Aug (never knew the difference) grew like a weed. Got very thick and lush. Cool to walk on and sturdy.

There are essentially four southern turf grasses. It’s a fact of life that centipede is the lowest quality of the four. Builders install it in Louisiana because here in this state we just don’t give a shite about much. Cut costs, aesthetics be damned.

So last year, I’d bet at least half of Baton Rouge residents lost their lawn when the centipede couldn’t withstand high temps and drought. Bermuda can.

Here in Ga nothing grows worth crap consistently.
That’s why I have a no grass yard. Haha

There’s tons of beautiful Bermuda lawns from northern AL to NC…it grows quite well.
