Solving uneven grass growth for a smooth lawn (2023 Update)

[Tex4ever54]

Greetings! Two years ago I laid down Celebration Bermuda in my lawn. It is healthy and green for the most part but it grows very unevenly. It looks very "lumpy" . I mow twice a week to keep the faster growing patches from being scalped but the slower growing right next to it never seems catch up. Anyone come across this problem>

Hello! It sounds like you're dealing with an issue that many homeowners have experienced with their lawns - uneven growth patterns. If your Celebration Bermuda grass is growing unevenly and creating a "lumpy" appearance, there are a few things you can do to help even it out.

Here are some steps you can take:

1. Fertilize: If your grass isn't getting enough nutrients, it can cause uneven growth patterns. Try fertilizing your lawn with a balanced fertilizer to help promote even growth.
2. Aerate: Aerating your lawn can help improve soil structure, allowing water and nutrients to reach the roots of your grass more easily. This can help promote even growth and reduce the "lumpy" appearance.
3. Overseed: If the uneven growth is due to bare patches in your lawn, overseeding can help fill in those areas and create a more even appearance.
4. Water evenly: Make sure you're watering your lawn evenly, so that all areas receive the same amount of moisture.

Here's what you'll need:

• A balanced fertilizer

• A lawn aerator or aeration service

• Grass seed (if overseeding)

Remember, it's important to keep mowing your lawn regularly to maintain an even height and prevent scalping, even as you work to even out the growth patterns. If you're having trouble getting the results you want, it may be worth consulting a professional landscaping company for additional advice.
