I live in Kennedale, TX and have bermuda grass. I usually water deep a couple times a week. I use the corn gluten as premergent (didn't work this year) and throughout the summer I will do the Nature's Guide alfalfa or poultry fertilizer and sometimes also do the dried molasses. At the first of the summer, I scalp the yard short and by the end of summer I'm mowing much higher. Realistically if I could mow twice a week, then I could keep it lower, but... There is some shade during the spring when things are coming in. Later in the spring/summer, it is usally sunnier. I'd hate to have bermuda in the front and st. augustine in the back. I don't usually have that much shade.
