Turf Transition

Grayhawk’s landscape will have a more abrupt switch from Ryegrass to Bermuda turf this year, commonly called a quick or hard transition. Typically, landscape vendors chose a slow transition method - a gradual process that lasts from the beginning of April through the end of June. But when warm weather arrives, the Ryegrass competes with the dormant Bermuda for sunlight, water and nutrients. This competition can result in a sparse, weak Bermuda crop. A hard transition provides more days of growth for the Bermuda to establish and sustain itself, typically creating a stronger crop of Bermuda.
