Bermuda Grass care calendar for zone 10

Tropical to subtropical; lawns active 12 months. St. Augustine, bahia, and bermuda are the practical choices. No winter dormancy means no winter rest: mowing, watering, and fertilization continue year-round at reduced intensity. Tropical pests (mole crickets, sod webworm) are constant pressure.

Bermuda is the workhorse warm-season lawn of the South: heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant, traffic-tolerant, and aggressively self-repairing via both stolons and rhizomes. Hybrid bermudas (Tifway 419, TifTuf) require sodding and look like a putting green; common bermuda can be seeded and looks closer to a typical Southern lawn.
