Why Choose Centipede Bermuda Grass?
-
Centipede is often called the “lazy man’s grass” — and that’s a good thing. It grows slowly, requires less mowing and fertilization, and has good natural resistance to pests and weeds. With a medium texture and light green hue, it gives off a natural, soft look that blends beautifully into Georgia landscapes.
-
This grass is perfect for homeowners who want a low-effort lawn that still performs well under Georgia’s heat and rainfall patterns.

Centipede Bermuda Maintenance & Care Guide
Caring for Centipede Bermuda is refreshingly simple. Its low nutrient and water demands make it one of the easiest warm-season grasses to maintain in Georgia’s climate. While it grows more slowly than other turf types, it rewards homeowners with a thick, weed-resistant lawn that needs less frequent mowing and fertilization.
With just a few basic practices, your Centipede lawn will thrive with minimal upkeep.

Watering

-
Keep soil consistently moist for the first 2–3 weeks to ensure root establishment
