How many hours of full sun do you get per day in the area you’re seeding? I ask because bermuda grass requires “full sun”(I think 6-8 hours per day). It won’t persist in shade.

This thread needs updates. I can only go so long without seeing bermuda stolons doing their thing.

I got you bro.
I put about 20 Celebration plugs in an area of my yard that was compacted dirt not too far from an oak tree. Was just curious to see what it'd do. Gets about 6 hours of sunlight per day. It's spread to about 10'x10' since last May and is still spreading quickly. Pretty dense, too. There is some common not far from it that stays stringy and doesn't really spread horizontally.

Very similar situation here. Quite compacted. Parked on this area off and on for four years.

Update:
What’s the best course of action now? Mow low, fertilize? Buy another bag of seed and overseer again?

Hey, that plugs is a good suggestion. The area underneath my oak tree is pretty well compacted and I’ve been wondering what might work to get some Bermuda growing there

Updated pics from 5/14/24.
Cut height 1.75”
1lb nitrogen applied early April
1lb nitrogen applied last week like May 9
Probably 5-7 cuts so far since the aeration, seeding , etc.
hoping the Bermuda continues to take over

Looks good. I followed your plan and am starting to see some results. I will say spreading 6 yds of sand over 15k square feet is not for the faint of heart. Planted Maya II Blackjack 3 weeks ago.
I have one section of yard that was bare soil and I’m starting to see the Bermuda fill in….along with a lot of nutsedge. Looking for some advice on when I can spray to kill the weeds??

im not the expert. ill leave that to the other guys I have tried to learn from. My guess would be MSM turf mixed with a surfactant.
but
I would not apply anything other than high nitrogen fertilizer right now as you just seeded 3 weeks ago.

sedge hammer
Can mix it with MSM/Celcius or just spot spray the sedge with it. MSM alone wont kill it.

If it bothers you, mow right before you enjoy your yard, you won’t notice it.
You’re not alone with this, but sedgehammer works wonders so rest easy knowing you’ll defeat it next year.

Good to know. Much appreciated.

Going to spray an area approximately 2' x 16'. It has healthy bermuda to either side and is extremely thin in the middle. The whole area is infested with nutsedge.

I've got Aug, Pede, Muda, Zoy, and weeds.....
I like Zoy the best...slwo grower but has very few issues and grows pretty good in the shade.
No more pede or aug for me, too intolerant.....bermuda is OK but ugly to me.

Bermuda ugly?! Have you seen it well maintained?
Maybe if thin and tall…
