My lawn has 2 types of grass growing together - how do I fix it?

September 28th, 2008

sport girl asked:


Someone *accidentally* seeded the grass with the wrong seed…now it is St. Augustine & Bermuda grass growing together. Can I overseed with one grass, or do I have to re-sod the entire lawn. It is a huge lawn and looks terribly unsightly up-close.

the root is down on the ground.. even u cut it, it will eventualy grow back..

Roundup spray to kill all including the roots. Any living bits (root segments) left behind will start new plants. Once dead, really dead, dig up, reestablish grade and sod.

I hope you want the Bermuda grass, because once you have it, it is hell(o) to get rid of!

The best way to get rid of it is to burn it then repeated poisoning, over a few months. Believe me you will need to do it at least 3 times!

If you dig it up and you miss 1 root, or 1 piece, it will come back AND IT SPREADS over the course of 1 summer a small root can develop into a large patch.

Bermuda will choke out other grasses eventually too.
