Bermuda Grass
Common Bermuda grass can become a problem for homeowners once it gets established in a lawn. Bermuda grass seed is very small and can be moved by wind, brought in on lawn mowers, or even passed through birds. It has a much different texture than tall fescue, it spreads by runners which can creep into plant beds, and it turns brown in the winter. Sometimes it is best to live with the Bermuda grass but if conditions are right, lawn renovation can be performed to eliminate the Bermuda grass. |
