There is no way you are going to spend 300 dollars and buy enough seed for one acre. Bermuda seeding rates are generally 90-125 lbs./acre. Bermuda seed is one of the more expensive seeds out there. On outsidepride they have ten pounds of Yukon Bermuda (a new variety that has very good cold tolerance) for $189. Even if you could get it for half that price you are still looking at about a thousand bucks for 100 pounds. That's just for the seed. Factor in prepping costs, fertilizer, watering it, etc., and that can be three hundred bucks without the seed.

Good seed is expensive and worth it. How nice does this lawn have to look? Is there a date by which it has to look really good?

Being in Zone 7 your soil is too cool to germinate bermuda seed until early July, so you have time to think about this. If you do nothing you'll probably have a full lawn of common bermuda by August.

I realize that $300 is not a realistic figure and, to be honest, I am not starting anew. I have a mixture of bermuda, fescue, and weeds, mostly weeds. Therefore, I am hoping that i don't necessarily have to convert my lawn into a golf course in one year. I simply cannot afford that. In reference to the financial concerns, I am not including the prep such as fertilizer, I am looking at the cheapest way to purchase Bermuda seed alone. Can anyone recommend a specific site online that I can buy it cheaper in bulk and, is there a specific variety that would work well (doesn't have to be a golf course) but doesn't cost $250 for 15 lbs? Thanks for the past and future replies.

I don't have warm season grass, but from what I've read, Bermuda is very aggressive, so if you've got some now, you don't need any seed. What you need to do is start caring for the Bermuda so that it can thrive. It will then spread and choke out everything else. I know it's a heavy feeder, so it needs 1 lb of actual N per 1000 sq ft per month during the growing season. And I know it needs to be mowed short. Beyond that, I'm clueless.

There's a frequent poster here (Texasweed) who put together a calendar of car for a Bermuda lawn and called it the Bermuda Bible. He has posted it to a number of websites (I think he has posted it here in the past). I'm pretty sure it's his busy season now (he's a Bermuda sod farmer in Texas) and he doesn't have much time to post these days, but if you google Bermuda Bible, you should find at least one copy of his guide.

Try this seller. They offer many types of Bermuda, from very good varieties like Yukon, to much more affordable lesser varieties.
