All DIY. And it looked like shat.
I've since outsourced it and it looks GREAT. And it's probably not costing me much more.
I'd let a pro handle it.

I'm on the up and up
Aug 31, 2023, 11:40 AM

took about a year to stop the bleeding.
got a sprinkler system installed this year (this is actually what set me back, b/c all the weeds came in from where they dug up, and I never got around to re-seeding / re-sprigging the areas that were dug up, b/c mid-level sales)
have learned the art of sprigging mooda grass, fert, etc.
I told my wife I want a full calendar year from july 4th ish this year to get it fixed and I'll call in a pro.
next big project is leveling and over-seeding w/ some mooda grass next may-ish

on her field.
Butt to agree with TRDJ, outsource it to juan of the million companies around and it'll be worth it. just don't use TrueGreen. Caught one of them bastages just walking a circle around my house and didn't do anything. Was there and left in like 5 minutes, then charged me for it. He didn't know I was home and watched him do it. Cancelled them and cussed them out.

What kind of grass? I typically overseed and crowd out in the fall. I try not to apply too many chemicals.

I use fescue. I like the look, but but is not the toughest grass. If you want to play some football with the kids, probably better going your route. Bermuda is hard to get rid of, which sounds good for your purposes. Be careful if you have gardens or mulched island type of area. It will spread into those areas.

kills everything but centipede. Even highway grass.
I let the highway grass grow this year though because my neighbor is a massive ##### and has to have his yard perfect. Guess who now has highway grass in his yard.

they do all the mailbox pulloffs beside the road, then deliver something to your house with their tires covered in Bahiagrass seed stuck to them.

This is a great Bermuda guide. Although being in TN you would adjust for growing season.
https://carolinafreshfarms.com/care/bermuda/![]() Bermuda - Carolina Fresh Farms With a little effort, hybrid Bermuda can be a very rewarding lawn to grow and maintain. Because Bermuda requires more nitrogen during the growing season than any other lawn grown in the Southeast, it is essential to choose higher-quality products that provide the desired amount of nitrogen without producing too much top growth.

It's an add-on service for our lawn guys, and I passed on it out of spite because I thought it should be included, but now I'm out there pulling clumps before I mow each week.
