Bermuda question for the real experts

How do you eliminate common bermuda from hybrid bermuda? It’s a small enough area that I could resod, but open to other options.

Ive read of people using PGR on the common. PacLow is the one the guy used. I also have a patchwork in certain parts or my yard. Last year I used glyphosate on a large patch then made plugs with a proplugger. Not sure what I'll do long term as it's a difficult situation.

I have a 10x10 patch of common surrounded by celebration. I've been cutting at 1.25" this year and the common isn't getting thick. I usually cut it at about 2" due to limited sunlight. The hybrid is sending runners into it so I'm hoping it chokes most of it out.

My hybrid also looks much healthier I think for the same reason. It can tolerate being much lower. Going to try to move plugs to the middle of those sections.

Good luck..... that common ain't gonna go away, your best option is to round up the common, then plug the shite out of it, so you can hide what common is gonna come back.
I have spots in mine that have mutated back to one of the parent grasses, I use to worry about it, I just give mine Nitrogen and iron to darken it up,

Common has moved into my front yard as well. I have decided to embrace the bermuda. What is the con to common bermudagrass? I would not be opposed to purchasing a high quality bermuda seed and overseeding. Thoughts?

Long term, you’ll learn to live with it.
If it’s a small enough patch, I’d go ahead and nuke the area and re-sod or plug as others have mentioned. Then mow low, as the hybrid tolerates lower HOC much better than the common.
Don’t skip pre-emergent windows, because the common has viable seeds that lay dormant in the soil. It’ll come back eventually though.

yep, my hybrid bermuda is from the 60's, my dad was gonna install TIFF GREEN, settled on a hybrid called NO MOW bermuda i believe one of the parents was a variety called Ormand which is still in existence in Florida.
But it can happen

I know I posted in this already but I think that my celebration is going to eventually choke out the damn oaks in my yard. I had a flower bed that had gotten taken over by bermuda. It had worked its way under the metal barrier that was buried about 2" deep. I dug up all of the plants my wife wanted to save and hit it with glyphosate. I then raked it all out, put two layers thick of weed barrier, and 2 or 3 inches of mulch. There's bermuda coming up through the barrier and mulch now.

Bermuda is a noxious weed on par with torpedo grass. It will forever be a mystery to me as to why people would plant it on purpose

Because it looks pretty good.

There's dudes on Youtube with amazing common Bermuda lawns. Like this baw:
Of course, he has a reel mower and keeps it short like a golf green. The main disadvantage of common Bermuda is it doesn't look as good as the cultivars if you don't keep it golf green short.
