Here are some tips for getting an excellent finish every time.
1) Watering -
The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning. This allows the water to soak into the soil before the sun can dry it up. Watering after 5 pm is not recommended as grass loses 50% of water to evaporation.
2) Mowing -
Mowing once a week encourages a healthy, lush lawn. Set your mower on a high setting and sharpen the blades every six months. Make sure your grass is dry when you are ready to mow.
3) Choosing your trimmer -
A sharp trimmer is vital. Use a blade that is the correct size for the area you need to trim. Set the trimmer to flush with the ground, so you don't cut any grass shorter than 3/4".
4) Fertilising -
TifTuf Bermuda grass needs 3-4 applications per year, from April to September. Choose a balanced fertiliser (high in phosphorous) and apply 1-3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft per application according to directions on the packaging.
5) Edging and tapering -
Keep your lawn edges distinct by keeping them 1/4"-1/2" higher than the rest of the grounds. This is easy to do with a string trimmer. Taper the property by trimming the outsides of the yard at a 45-degree angle.
6) Seeding -
Even though TifTuf Bermuda grass is a seeded variety, you can sow it on your lawn to fill in bare patches. You can also sow Bermuda grass seed to create a whole new property. Both are quickly done with a spreader.
