About Tifway Bermuda grass
If you are in the market for a drought tolerant, hardy Bermuda grass sod, then Tifway Bermuda may be the right choice for you. Tifway Bermuda grass, also known as Tifway 419 Bermuda, was developed by the University of Georgia like many other hybrid Bermuda grasses. Its dense, rapidly spreading growth habit means quick recovery from injury, making it one of the most durable Hybrid Bermudas.

Characteristics of Tifway Bermuda grass
Tifway 419 tolerates close mowing and is highly disease resistant. Bermuda is used on fairways, roughs, sports fields, and commercial and residential lawns. Tifway performs at its best in full sun with a mowing height of 1/2“-3/4”. It grows well in nearly all soil types and resistant to drought. It spreads both above ground (stolons) and below ground (rhizomes) which makes it very aggressive and able to wear well and compete successfully with most weed species. The biggest negatives to bermuda grass are that it tends to creep into the flower beds, and it does not tolerate shade very well. Do not select bermuda grass for lawns that are shady.
Tifway is recognized as having a dark green color and leaves that are fine-medium textured. Tifway hybrid bermuda grass is course with a medium to low growth habit. This variety is a vigorous grower and thus establishes quickly at planting.
More About Sod Installation
Zoysia | Bermuda | Centepede | Fescue
Sod is pre-grown grass that is sold in sections. The grass and soil are held together by roots or other materials. It is very lush and vibrant and grows more evenly and without weeds. Whether you need sod installation in the Triangle or areas of your current grass need to be replaced, there are several steps that we take to ensure the sod takes root and flourishes:
- Clear the space and treat for weeds. It is very important to start with a clean base. We will remove the old grass carefully and ensure the area is ready for the new sod.
- Prepare the soil. For the sod to take root successfully, good quality soil is a necessity. We will add nutrient rich compost, till it, and grade it to ensure proper root development and drainage will occur
- Lay the sod. This is the tedious part of the process. We will lay the sod properly, one piece at a time, to cover the area you desire.
- Roll the sod. We use special equipment to level out the sod and to make sure there is proper contact between the soil and the sod for optimal rooting.
- Water the sod. This is probably the most important step of the process. We will educate you on proper watering techniques to ensure deep root growth.
