Does Bermuda Need to Be Overseeded?

In order to keep your Bermuda grass looking thick, lush and full year after year, you'll need to overseed to replace grass lost to the elements over time.

How do you overseed Bermuda grass?

Using a slicer seeder to open the thatch and soil surface and planting the seed in the shallow slicer furrows has also worked well to establish new bermuda seedlings in existing sod. Plant 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of turf-type bermuda seed per 1,000 square feet. Plant the seed shallow (less than 1/4 inch) for best results.

Does Bermuda grass have runners?

The runners of bermuda grass are the most typical feature that people recognize. It is also the most common reason why they don't like it. Common bermuda can be very invasive. It puts down roots from the nodes or joints as it spreads, which is why it is difficult to pull up.
