Just bought a house and the back yard is seeded with Bermuda grass. I understand I have to kill the existing grass, then lay the sod. Anyone with experience doing this know the best way to do it?

If your putting Bermuda sod down and it's been seeded with Bermuda sod why would you have to kill the existing sod? Has the seed started to come up? If not just cover it with the cut sod. One thing also is to learn how to maintain Bermuda its one of the best lawns but it takes alot of work. Did you know you need to cut Bermuda with a reel mower? Every fall it turns brown and goes dormant. Then every spring you need to aerate then put down a Pre-emergent herbicide. In any balding areas but sand down. Like I said alot of work but Bermuda is one of the best looking grass.

When my parents did their yard (years ago) they dug up the old grass. It was a lot of work, but man did their yard look so much better afterwards! My hubby and our family just moved in to a house that had been recently sodded and they did not do it properly. It was not rolled afterwards very well, so it's lumpy in areas. I would suggest rolling it a lot. Good luck with your project!
