How soon after seeding will I be able to mow my new bermudagrass turf?
A. Approximately 3 weeks after seeding, depending on conditions at the time of establishment. In some cases, you may need to mow 2 weeks after seeding. Thereafter, every 3 to 7 days, subject to your management program and use requirements. Never remove more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at any one mowing to avoid scalping or removing too much green material from the plant. Scalping is not only unsightly, but it stresses the turf when too much of the green matter is removed. The above ground portion of the grass, leaves and stems, are needed for converting the sun’s energy to food for the plant.
