TifTuf Bermuda Maintenance Tips

Proper maintenance of your TifTuf Bermuda lawn will keep it looking lavish year-round. We’ve made a few recommendations below to make it easy for you.

Mowing TifTuf Bermuda

Your TifTuf lawn can be mowed using a rotary lawn mower down to 2.0-2.5 inches. By mowing on a 4-to-7-day interval, you won’t need to bag all your clippings–mulching them returns beneficial nutrients and water to the soil, keeping your lawn nice and healthy.

Watering TifTuf Bermuda

Fertilizing TifTuf Bermuda

Select a fertilizer that is labeled specifically for use on Bermuda grass lawns. Apply between 2 to 4 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet annually during the growing season.

Weed Control for TifTuf Bermuda

Preventative measures are the best way to control weed growth. Mowing regularly, as well as adding pre-emergent herbicide will keep weeds at bay. As a reminder, you should only apply weed control products that are specified for use on Bermuda grass lawns.
