Lookin good gents. Either I cut mine tall, or yall cut short. I've had the best lookin turf cutting on the highest setting on the mower (Honda HRT216).

Yeah, it's cut short. Don't think my mower is capable of anything more than 2".

I'm referencing the bottom right of the front and those few squares along side the wall

Sorry, I missed this response with the pictures.

how are those areas looking now? The rest of the yard looks healthy enough to not be concerned about those areas. If some runners stress and die, I wouldn't worry with it too much with the way that those look. The green stuff will run in and fill those areas in.

I raised mine up a notch this weekend. I use a snapper ninja. I'm 2 notches from the highest setting. My bare spots are starting to fill in nicely.

There is nothing better than a fresh edge!

Check the ground where those squares are and see how wet it is. It may be too much water. I laid a few squares a couple weeks ago and only needed to water once daily. It was hand watering bermuda squares, so I'm sure the requirements are a bit different. Average temps haven't been extremely hot so if you have a lot of shade, it may be a case of over watering

Yeah. It is not uncommon. Especially in the top. Those squares dried out first due to sun exposure on the top of the pallet.

How are you watering?

Until a couple days ago I was watering morning and afternoon every day (first 10 days)

Now I'm watering only every other morning and a quick water every afternoon just to try to keep it moist

Is it normal for fresh sod to have some brown in it after a few days? I did the starter fertilizer.. but it seems as if the top 6 squares from each pallet are struggling more than the rest.. everything else has a little dead grass in each square but nothing major..

My rye has finally started to really fade, but I have brown underneath in a lot of places. I started running the sprinklers over the weekend and will hit it with some fertilizer this weekend to try and get the bermuda really going. Rain would be great.

Yeah, I fucked up just like I always do...waited to long for the rain.

Looking good!

I'm hoping the storms in the next few days bring some seriously needed rain. The past few days of heat has really kicked my yard into overdrive.

Corey....Saint Augustine should grow. Or you can do a ginormous mulch bed

Yeah. I've thought about the mulch bed. The thought of weed pulling sounds terrible. I'll get a couple pallets of Saint Augustine sod and see how that does.
