Bermuda is a warm season type of sod that flourishes in the warmer seasons, mostly in the summer. Our Bermuda has a beautiful blade and is reminiscent of a golf course. Tennessee is about the start of where you will find Bermuda, as most the grasses above Tennessee are cool season grasses. Therefore Tennessee is called a transition zone, which allows cool season and warm season grasses to be grown. With proper care, Bermuda grass can thrive in Tennessee and provide you with a beautiful, low-maintenance lawn for years to\u00a0come.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” overflow-y=”hidden” custom_margin=”-75px||-1px||false|false” overflow-x_tablet=”” overflow-x_phone=”hidden” overflow-x_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=”https:\/\/sodso.boro.webservice.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/greengrass.png” title_text=”greengrass” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”200%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#59a046 0%|#63c324 100%” custom_css_main_element=”text-align: center;” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_id=”`” module_class=”inline-btns” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”22px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n One of the primary advantages of this Bermuda grass is its exceptional drought resistance, which means that it requires less water to maintain its color and health. This not only saves on water consumption, but it also makes it an ideal choice for areas with limited access to water. Additionally, Bermuda sod grass is highly durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic and usage, making it perfect not only for families with kids but also for areas such as sports fields and playgrounds. The grass is attractive with its lovely deep green color and tight, uniform texture, making any property look well-manicured and well-cared-for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Because Bermuda sod grass has a rapid growth rate, it can quickly fill in bald spots and create a thick, even lawn. Finally, this grass requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for those who want a beautiful lawn without spending too much time tending to it. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#31323D” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”22px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”422,423,424,425,426,427,428,429″ show_title_and_caption=”off” zoom_icon_color=”#58A045″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FAF4EB” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”22px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n There are two main types of Bermuda grass: common Bermuda grass and hybrid Bermuda grass.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sodso.boro.webservice.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AdobeStock_109454864.jpeg” title_text=”AdobeStock_109454864″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”250px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Common Bermuda<\/strong> grass is the most common type of Bermuda grass.

When the weather cools down, Bermuda grass will go dormant. This means that the grass will stop growing and the blades will turn brown. Bermuda goes dormant at around 45-50 degree temps. Once the temperatures warm up in the spring, your Bermuda grass will start to green up again. You will need to start watering and fertilizing your grass again at this time. Bermuda adapts to a wide range of soil conditions, but best growth occurs on fertile soils. However it also adapts and grows perfectly in a wide range of soil conditions including infertile sand, compacted clay, along with alkaline and saline soils. Bermuda does not fare well in the shade. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/sodso.boro.webservice.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/bermuda-7.jpg” background_size=”custom” background_image_width=”47%” background_position=”center_left” custom_margin=”100px||100px||true|false” custom_margin_tablet=”100px||100px||true|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” background_last_edited=”on|phone” background_enable_image_phone=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”22px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(249,246,242,0.99)” background_image=”https:\/\/sodso.boro.webservice.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/AdobeStock_358532758.jpeg” background_blend=”screen” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”22px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#58A045″ hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The best time to install Bermuda sod is in the spring or fall, when the weather is cool and moist. Install your sod as soon as possible after it is delivered; the sod will start to dry out if it is not installed within a few hours of delivery. Since Bermuda grass does not tolerate shade well, it\u2019s important to choose a sunny location to lay your sod. Your soil should be moist and loosened to a depth of at least 6 inches and free of weeds, debris, and rocks. Lay the sod so that the edges overlap by at least 2 inches, then roll the sod with a garden roller to help it settle into place. Water the sod thoroughly after it is installed. Not everyone is willing or able to lay sod on their own – that\u2019s why companies like Sod Source also provide sod installation services.

For regular mowing, fescue grass benefits from being mowed at a height of 1-1.5 inches. Mowing Bermuda grass once a week is sufficient. Mowing more often can stress the grass and make it more susceptible to weeds.

While both methods can give you a luscious lawn, there are many advantages to opting for sod over seed. The first benefit of sod is that it is much more convenient. With sod, you can have a lush lawn in a matter of hours versus weeks or even months with seed. Sod is also much easier to install than seed, with no need for any tilling or waiting for germination. Additionally, sod guarantees uniformity throughout your lawn, meaning no patchy areas or uneven growth. In contrast, seeding can result in a more inconsistent lawn, which may require additional seed and more time to maintain. Lastly, sod requires significantly less maintenance than seeded lawns, with none of the need for frequent watering and the constant threat of weeds and pests. This could really save you time and money in the long run. All in all, sod is a wise investment for those looking for a quick, effortless, and aesthetically pleasing way to transform their outdoor\u00a0space.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(49,50,61,0.94)” background_image=”https:\/\/sodso.boro.webservice.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/sod-install.jpg” background_blend=”multiply” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Whether or not you should install your own sod depends on a few factors, including your budget, your time constraints, and your DIY skills.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-16px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#7CDA24″ background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The cost of sod installation will vary depending on the size of your lawn, the type of sod you choose, and the cost of labor in your area.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to lay your own sod or hire a professional sod installation company is a matter of personal choice. <\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(250,244,235,0.91)” background_image=”https:\/\/sodso.boro.webservice.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/sod-install.jpg” background_blend=”screen” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”22px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Whether or not you should install your own sod depends on a few factors, including your budget, your time constraints, and your DIY skills.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#58A045″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The cost of sod installation will vary depending on the size of your lawn, the type of sod you choose, and the cost of labor in your area. If cost is the main concern for you, then you may be better off laying the sod on your own. Just make sure you do plenty of research before your sod is delivered. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#58A045″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Sod installation is a time-consuming project. It can take several hours to install a small lawn, and even longer for a large lawn. Time is of the essence when installing sod, since it may dry out if left above ground for too long. A professional sod installer will be able to lay your sod in much shorter time than you likely could yourself.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#58A045″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Sod installation will go better for an amateur with some basic DIY skills.
