If you’ve sought professional lawn spraying services for the spring and summer, your lawn is probably free of common weeds, such as Dandelions, Morning Glory, and Clover…but what about Bermuda Grass? Bermuda Grass typically stands apart from the rest of your lawn due to its cool, bluish hue and thick, creeping stems. While standard weed control methods effectively eliminate most unwanted varieties in your yard, Bermuda Grass is its own beast, requiring unique products and treatment. For years, this plant has been a common nemesis of Moore Green customers. Now, we are happy to offer Bermuda Grass control services to homeowners throughout Northern Utah.
What Is Bermuda Grass?
Bermuda Grass is a viney perennial turfgrass that thrives in warm environments, spreading quickly and overtaking anything in its path. While it is commonplace and even desirable in warmer states such as Florida, for many homeowners in Northern Utah, this resilient,
heat-tolerant grass is a significant nuisance, disrupting the soft, even appearance of a traditional lawn.
Weed control for Bermuda Grass is where it gets tricky. Although this variety may be undesirable in appearance, it is biologically very similar to other types of turfgrass, meaning that typical broadleaf weed control will not affect it. If you want to get rid of any Bermuda Grass on your property, a very specialized product is required for effective elimination.
How Does Bermuda Grass Killer Work?
What is Bermuda Grass killer, and how does it work? Bermuda Grass killer is an herbicide carefully formulated to target this specific variety without harming surrounding plants. Thanks to the specialized formula, Bermuda Grass killer can be sprayed directly over your entire lawn without affecting the rest of your turf. Because of Bermuda Grass’s resilient nature, two or more applications will be needed.
Timing
Like other herbicides, timing is of the essence when it comes to this treatment. For proper elimination, the Bermuda Grass in your yard should be entirely out of dormancy during the application. This means that the best time to apply this product is in the heat of the summer.
Post-Treatment Care
After your Bermuda Grass killer application, your lawn care professional will provide you with post-treatment instructions. At Moore Green, we typically instruct our customers to wait 1-2 days before watering. After all necessary applications are completed, you may want to re-seed the bare area with the grass variety of your choice to give your lawn a full, beautiful appearance.
