lol, Bermuda growing isnt rocket science. Dont overthink it. Remember, it always grows anywhere you dont want it so its pretty easy to establish where you do want it.
I have found if I want to spread Bermuda all I have to do is chop it up with a tiller and attempt to pull it all out. It will grow like weeds in a few weeks.
Unless you really like to mow, I'd stay with native Bermuda. The hybrids (Coastal, etc.) put out a lot more volume.
Just a thought.

This is true, I sprigged 4 acres of Worldfeeder bermuda for pasture. It grew 18" tall in 30 days with nitrogen and good rainfall the first year it was put down. I could get 2 tons of hay per acre every 30 days.Unless you really like to mow, I'd stay with native Bermuda. The hybrids (Coastal, etc.) put out a lot more volume.

Sod is the ONLY way to go. Where are you located? Tulsa Grass and Sod has a store in Choctaw and in Bixby. Their Astro variety of Bermuda is really nice-medium bladed Bermuda that holds up well to our harsh summers. Soft and easy on bare feet.
The owner is an avid sportsman and shooter too.

OK of C. My mother-in-law God rest her soul, had the most beautiful Bermuda carpet. It was a really fine blade I've never seen since. She mowed once per week.
Native Bermuda is usually a coarse bladed grass. Tiffway/tiff 419 is a very fine blade grass that is really soft and can be mowed very short. It is a common variety on golf course fairways.
Dad was an old wheat farmer. Maybe I could take a page from his book. He said he got smart one year and planted weeds and the wheat killed them.
