Killing bermuda grass

| I've read the great suggestions on killing my entire front lawn of bermuda grass, however, how long (or how many applications) does it take to really kill it properly? My goal is to put in Xeriscape during the fall after I've killed my grass. It appears my timeline is too aggressive (one summer to kill). |

| I've had great success spraying once with Triox, covering with black plastic, weighted down with pavers, and left in the hot Phoenix sun for a few weeks. Pull up the plastic, water the ground and put the plastic back down. Pretty much kills everything, including the earth worms. Bermuda grass is deep-rooted, though, and will continue to come back and haunt you for years once it gets a little water. Best method of erradication is to dig it up and get rid of it, roots and all. For any that still manages to survive, I spray with Ortho's Grass-B-Gone, active ingredient Fluazifop, which will kill the grass without killing my rose bushes. |
