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

My daughter (no pics) is getting married at our East TX farm in November. She wants a tent with grass. What’s the best way to transform about an acre in our pasture to a nice thick stand of Bermuda in 6 months? Disc? Overseed? Nuke the Bahia, then seed? Any ideas? And watering will most likely be at the whims of mother nature unless I’m forced to do something crazy!

Wven if you get a thick stand, depending on where you are, good chance the bermuda will be dormant come Nov anyway. Could probably do an overseed of annual rye or PRG and have just as a nice of a lawn for the event.

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

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

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.

Well looks like the consensus is to baby the existing pasture. Thanks for the tips!

I’ll just say this. Seeding Bermuda is a 2-3 year process to get it nice enough to show off.
Year one will be half weeds, half grass.

If you have some Bermuda in the Bahai, spray it with a MSM. The MSM will whipe out the Bahai and not harm the Bermuda. Fertilize it, water it, keep it mowed short to make it run. You should have a beautiful stand of Bermuda in 6 months.
If you can’t water it, then don’t do what I just recomemded.
