Bermuda Lawns – Scalping
Q: I know you don’t recommend burning bermuda lawns but what do you think about scalping? I’ve already seen neighbors cutting theirs very short.
A: Scalping is far safer than burning. I recommend doing it when you see the barest hint of green in the lawn, typically in mid-March. Lower the mowing height to approximately one inch. Make sure not to go so low as to let the mower blade hit the ground.
