Mowing
Mow bermuda grass every 5-7 days during peak growth
During summer, bermuda grass grows rapidly and should be mowed every 5-7 days to maintain optimal height.
“Bermuda grass may need mowing every 5-7 days during peak summer growth. Never remove more than 1/3 of the blade height at once.”

Bermuda grass should be mowed at 1-2 inches during active growth
Maintain bermuda grass at 1-2 inches during the growing season. Lower heights encourage denser growth but require more frequent mowing.
“Bermuda grass performs best when maintained at 1-2 inches. Higher mowing heights may be needed in shaded areas.”

Watering
Water bermuda grass 1-1.5 inches per week during summer
Apply 1-1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall. Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth.
