From what I’ve seen, 2” Bermuda lawns can look nice as do .5” ones…

I cut mine with a Honda mower. I travel a lot and cut my yard at the 2.5 setting once a week. If I went any lower I’d be scalping my yard. A lot of people have it in their head you have to cut Bermuda short and that’s not accurate. I believe the hybrid Bermuda I have is easier to take care of because it doesn’t grow that tall yet it’s very thick. To me Bermuda is just hardier and recovers faster. There is a reason it’s on golf courses where golf carts run all over it day after day. I’ll take the grass you can beat the crap out of, spill gas on it and it recovers, dogs trample it in my backyard, yet it still thrives. It’s such an aggressive cultivar thus it’s easier to take care of in my opinion. I’ll throw one more thing in. Bermuda loves hot weather and mine is dark green whether it’s fertilized or not.
