Hey Pete, I will continue to follow because honestly I like to see what you come up with. And to be quite honest I have thought about switching over myself due to the summer’s and the stress it just put’s on my fescue and I am looking for something easier that can take the heat and not cost me an arm and leg in Irrigation. At my old house I ended up switching to Zorro Zoysia and I absolutely loved it. So like you said it is your yard and I will continue to watch and support you here from TN.

@@pkn920 Same here... I guess it's the lesser of the 2 evils then. I think I would rather have a possible brown lawn during the Summer than brown all Winter. I have a nice lawn during the Fall and Winter. Mine doesn't really look dull until late December or early Jan. I usually get a final cut and trim in around the week of Thanksgiving or the first week of Dec when I get up the last of the falling leaves. I feed it well so it usually stays locked in until March when things start moving again...

[@jrea_ncsu8333]

I live in Garner, NC and my neighbors' bermuda struggled just as much as my fescue during the drought, even those that water regularly. After the recent rain, the fescue has recovered and looks almost as vigorous as the bermuda. Once you consider how many months the bermuda is dormant while I'm able to stripe the fescue, it's a no brainer to me: I'm sticking with tall fescue.

[@finny5000]

I really appreciate you voicing your thought process. I’m contemplating the same change from TTTF to Bermuda in my backyard. Here in north Georgia, the fungicide applications seem to be constant with the increased heat and humidity over the last 2 summers. The disease resistance Bermuda offers is sounding better every day

[@markc3653]

I think that's one of the best videos you've ever done. Shows you as a real person with real decisions I would assume it's a very common dilemma for transition Zone yard owners. Like you said sprigs are easier and faster than seeding given your scheduling... only you would know whether doing it by seed and the content that would provide would help your Bermuda seed sales.. in any event good luck with your project your project

[@jeremiahbf117]

With the age of this video, it is unlikely you will see this, but Bermuda, in my opinion, is beautiful at any length. Having it does not commit future owners to keeping it short. My father kept his at 4.5 inches and it was one of the densest and greenest years I have walked on. When it turned brown, it stayed thick and still looked great.

[@MrJPel85]

Pete, great video! I’m actually contemplating the same thing. I just purchased a home in NC with 20K sf of Bermuda. I’m a cool season guy to be honest. I’ve been struggling to maintain a PRG lawn in KY and it’s such a pain. Water, fungicide, heat stress…the list goes on. I appreciate you taking the time to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of both. I’m thinking I may end up keeping the Bermuda and overseeding in the winter with PRG. That way I get green grass all year. Good luck with your decision. Either way, I’ll still watch. God bless you, brother!

Pete I live in hamlet nc now and I tried the tall fescue when I planted my new yard which was trees for many many years. It did ok last fall had a green yard all winter with fescue and rye. Spring came and it went dormant and summer grass has taken over. Since before the drought I’ve watered my 1 acre of grass 3 times a week when the drought came almost my whole yard died out now I have almost a full yard of Bermuda/ st Augustine. Water hasn’t stopped and I’ve applied fertilizer every 3 weeks regardless of rain amounts. We just had several hrs of rain over the last week and the summer grass is thriving. I learned this past year to let the grass that wants to be there grow and maintain it and you will be happy with it

Have had some very short periods where it looked great and I love the striping. But it only looks great for a very short time of the year - it just can't stand up to the long hot summer here. Burning it down and switching to Alpha Elite bermuda so see how that goes. I was already convinced, and this video just confirms making the switch for me. Thanks Pete

Pete, honestly speaking it doesn't matter what kind of grass you are growing, you can grow it with the best of them. Family time is so important these days. If the Bermuda provides an oppurinty to spend time with children I am all for it. TBH i am killing off my bermuda in my front yard and planting clover, due to me not having time to maintaing the bermuda. No matter what you decide to do, I am still a die hard devoted fan of yours, you have thought me so much, that I actually used when I had my lawn business. My recomendation would be the Celebration Bermuda. I had a client that had this in thier front yard, I mowed it low and it was always dark green and beautiful. I guess what I am trying to say in laymen's terms. "You do what you feel you need to do for you and your family, and don't care about what others think."

I watch storm after storm split and go around me. But the Celebration stood strong. 2+ months with no water and it was thriving.

I can speak to the two fears you have: 1. Here in OK, we have Bermuda grow right up next to fescue. It never affects it and if it does, you can not tell at all. 2. This channel will continue to grow, just like the new Bermuda. Personally, I’d love to see videos of how you implement your renovation guides. I think it would be incredibly helpful. Side note: I grew up hitting golf balls with my parents in a little 3/4 acre field next to our house. I’m 53 and both parents have passed. It’s a memory that I still treasure and tell others about. Also, if you are interested, Latitude 36 is a great cultivar, although you can only get it in sod form. It greens up the quickest and stays green the longest in our state.

This has been the first summer where I've thought about seriously changing to a warm season grass. This summer has been brutal for the fescue.

This is going to be awesome! Let’s see some zoysia somewhere Pete!

Can’t wait to see what your yard would look like with Bermuda! Following and subscribed

I’m in Indiana with a fescue and blue grass mix and we were hit with high heat for 3-4 weeks, yard was stress to the max, got some fungicides down and have been pouring organic matter in to help it bounce back.l

Nope I'm in Newport News with tttf and kbg blend. Last year this time my lawn look bad because of irrigation run times and coverage. I told myself I'll be ready this year. This year the results in the changes I made and the information ive learned from you have definitely helped my turff. Mabey you can do a kbg/ Bermuda mix

Thanks for the video Pete! First time I’ve seen rain since the end of May!

Greetings Pete, I know you feel about this year summer in North Carolina. I will continue to learn from you and just like you & your wife I'm a fescue guy. I just started my KZbin journey. Blessings.

I think the big question is whether making the switch is worthwhile vs a realistic time frame you foresee leaving the property. A lot to consider in making that decision which you already outlined. Whatever the outcome, you have my support. And btw, it's not that you only live once, it's rather you only die once and live everyday. NDE's don't count. :/
