What is a good Lawn care program for Bermuda Grass?

Answer:
Bermuda grass is considered a warm climate grass,

and as such, Bermuda grass is typically found between latitudes 45 degrees north and 45 degrees south.

Bermuda grass is a creeping grass, in that it spreads across the top of the soil and roots itself where the root nodes find a place to dig in. Bermuda grass also withstands wear and tear of foot traffic, thus is used on golf courses in some southern U.S. areas.

Caring for bermuda grass is perhaps a little trickier than caring for some of the "take-anything" lawn grasses. Bermuda grass is a little finicky about having enough warm sunlight, and does not do real well in shady areas.

Bermuda grass prefers warm, moist soil, and lots of hot sun. Bermuda grass is used as lawn grass in some of the southern segments of the United States.

Maintenance measures for bermuda grass lawns include the following steps:
o Fertilize once or twice each year with products containing phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium.
o Water moderately once or twice each week.
o Mow at highest cutting levels to keep roots protected and healthy.
