Now is the time to plant new grass in Utah

Alright, Utah, gather 'round! You’ve probably heard the whispers (or maybe boisterous lawn enthusiasts) about the new Bermuda hybrid grass that’s taken Utah by storm. Why all the buzz? Picture this: a lawn that's green with envy of itself and doesn't drink up all your water!

This Bermuda hybrid is the grass your yard’s been dreaming of. With roots going down 60% deeper than your usual lawn fare, it’s like your grass took a yoga retreat and found Zen—needing less water and laughing in the face of the cold.

A few months ago Dave wrote an article announcing that Utah legalized the Bermuda hybrid, so you don’t have to plant it secretly in the backyard anymore.

So, now that the mercury’s dropping, it’s prime time to start your Bermuda grass mission. It is nice because we spend less time outdoors giving your new grass time to settle so when the spring buds, the roots will have established and be ready to green up with everything else.

A word from the wise (or my overly enthusiastic brother-in-law who’s already taken the plunge): this grass might be a tad on the rough side. If you’re envisioning a perfectly manicured Kentucky bluegrass lawn, think again. Bermuda hybrid is more like the rebellious cousin—rugged and clumpy, like those playgrounds from your childhood.

So, go ahead, give your lawn the upgrade it deserves.

Remember, patience is key and a little rough around the edges is part of the charm. Happy planting.
