Converting a Fescue Lawn to Bermudagrass by Overseeding

If your lawn gets full sun, bermudagrass outperforms fescue. In May, aerate warm soil, seed improved variety 'Princess 77', drag carpet for seed-soil contact, apply starter fertilizer, and water lightly daily for a week. Mow at 1–1.5″ all summer (bermuda loves low mowing; fescue hates it), fertilize monthly, and expect a solid stand by fall.
