I live in Memphis, Tn and have Bermuda grass and a yard service takes care of all yards. They have done the exact same thing to all yards, but there are roughly 3 yards that are completly dead and mine is one. The yards on both sides are green. My front and back are both dead. Will it come back? What do you suggest I do? Can I take a soil sample somewhere and have it tested? It never got green after the winter.

this is the second year my 419 bermuda has developed spring brown spots. Is there anyway to restart and bring it back or do I have to do like last year. Last year I pulled the grass out in the area and spread new dirt and seeded. The surrounding grass grew in along with the seed but it took awhile. Any suggestions. The other question is how do you fight Pohanna in the bermuda

My yard has bermuda grass and i really havent been taking very good care of it as i should, i want to get my yard looking great, my yard is like the kid that the other kids pick on cause there not dressed as nice. i have acoulpe of bald spots in my back yard “like just dirt” and my front yard has alot of crap grass and other types of weeds in it, im looking for some advice to bring this kid back up to par so it can be respected by the other kids on the block if you know what i mean. ive spreed some weed and feed on it and some turff builder as well, how often and what would be the best product to use to help the grass look healther.

Depends. Do you have comon bermuda or 419? Anyway you could sod it or just fertilize the heck out of your lawn and get it moving. It will spead into the bare areas faster with fertilizer and it would help to pull some plugs and keep those bare areas spiked up. Make sure they arent crusty and hard.

Try using liquid iron. Also you may want to lime once every year if your base is clay. Also when you fertilize make sure its high in nitrogen, this should green it up faster. Many people just use a 13-13-13 which isnt going to give you the green up your looking for. Use something like a 34-0-0

Last winter was one of the hardest in years in your area. You may have lost some of your turf grass to winter kill. It was very common last year. If you have spring dead spot witch is a fungus then thats a totaly different situation. It may take all year for it to come back. Otherwise if you just had some winter damage then you may want to fertilize alot and water. Bermuda handles fertilizer well and just pound it every 10 days or so until it comes back. Make sure you dont overdo it though and put it out when its dry so it doesnt burn.

Shade is the worst thing in the world for bermuda so unless you remove some trees I would suggest resoding with Zosia if you have the money. It does much better in the shade and also chokes out weeds better than the bermuda does.

This is the time of year your going to see spring weeds begin to germinate and come out. The best way to prevent this is to use a pre emergent herbicide in the first week of Feb. This will prevent most of that. If you havent then you can use several different types of weed killer. Most common weeds in the southern region are crab grass, dallas grass, crow foot ect. MSMA works great on these with a combination of others like sencor, but some of these herbicides are restricted and you must have a licence. You probabaly want to use another pre emergent application with fert in April to control the summer germination weeds. Most of these problems can be controled with pre emergents. You may still get some but for the most part it works. As far as poa ana in the winter there arent to many things to prevent this and its expensive, but 2 to 3 apps of a fungicide called Rubigan works but its very expensive and most homeowners dont even know about it, its comon on golf course practices.
