A well kept bermuda lawn is unparalleled

The requirements to maintain are crazy though

Jelly.
My lawn is st. Aug, or should I say initially was at aug, bought the house from wife’s family who didn’t fertilize or spray it and was over run with weeds. I have been trying to re-establish it over the past three years and are finally seeing some improvement, my biggest issue is it’s close to an acre and can get expensive really quick.

The water requirements to keep it an 1/2 in is ridiculous, not to.mention gas and time mowing. I mow mine 2 times a week at 1.5 inches. I gotta level it lol

Just when I thought my Bermuda was starting to look good I see this. That takes a lot of man hours and water to maintain.

I might take a picture of mine later. I’ve got a pretty good FU line between me and the neighbor. I’d love to cut at .5 but typical shitty builders have me filling in pot holes and sink irrigation lines. I’m at an inch high now.

My fricking neighbor changes where he cuts every week sometimes he cuts one strip of my lawn. Sometimes he doesn’t. And I cut my immaculate St Aug at 3” and he chops his centipede and weeds at like 0.5”

That lawn looks like an ecological desert to me. I’m a centipede and weeds (clover, whatever else sprouts up and survives mowing but isn’t torpedo grass) person myself. I like my Freedom Lawn......it’s good for the bees, the birds, and all of the other pollinators who are helping along my tomato crop.

I haven’t edged yet and you can see a few spots where I leveled the lawn. Overall I’m pretty happy.

I'm pretty proud of my front yard. It’s a really deep green zoysia. Well, almost all of it. There are still a small section that hasn’t been taken over by zoysia.

I do have a neighbor that has a yard that looks like the OP’s pic. He’s working in it every single day.
Never measured it but it’s between .5-1”. He will kill the grass in late summer and seed it with a northern grass. Cuts it with a really nice reel mower.
