Why are there times during the year when the bermuda grass is looking poorly?
There are two times of the year when certain maintenance practices will cause the grass to look unhealthy. During late summer around the end of September or the beginning of October, landscapers are beginning the process of over seeding the bermuda grass with rye grass. This process allows the grass to remain green during the winter. During the spring, the grass may again look poorly as the winter rye grass begins to die because of the hotter temperatures. During this time, the bermuda will emerge from winter dormancy and green up for the summer.
