Description

Elevate your lawn with TifTuf Bermuda, the gold standard in bermudagrass, delivered fresh by Sod Shop El Paso. Developed over two decades by University of Georgia researchers Dr. Wayne Hanna and Dr. Brian Schwartz, TifTuf is engineered for unmatched drought and wear tolerance, using 38% less water than Tifway 419 while maintaining a vibrant, dark green color under stress. Perfect for high-traffic residential lawns, golf courses, and sports fields, this sterile hybrid sod offers rapid establishment and exceptional durability in the desert Southwest.

TifTuf thrives in El Paso and Las Cruces’s sunny, arid climate, requiring 6+ hours of full sun and well-drained soils. Its cold tolerance extends Bermuda’s adaptability, ensuring faster spring green-up and longer fall color, though it goes dormant in winter. Mow to ½–1 inch with a sharp rotary or reel mower, fertilize with 3–4 lbs. of nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. annually, and water 1–1.25 inches weekly during the growing season, shifting to deep, infrequent watering in drought. Locally cultivated for optimal performance, TifTuf outperforms other bermudagrasses, making it the preferred choice to replace Tifway.

Choose TifTuf Bermuda from Sod Shop El Paso for a sustainable, low-maintenance lawn that withstands heavy use and harsh conditions.

Watering & Maintenance

Consistent Watering
Newly installed lawns should be kept consistently wet for the first 7-10 days. Average watering time per cycle should be 5-20 minutes, 4-6 times per day.

If you notice water beginning to puddle, decrease the watering time. Once your lawn is established, reduce your watering to 2-3 times per week. Early morning watering is always the best.

Maintenance Tips
To begin maintaining your lawn, you should start mowing no sooner than 2 weeks after installation. Mow frequently enough so that you remove no more than 1/3 of the height of the leaf at one time.

Use a fertilizer high in nitrogen with a ratio similar to 29-2-4 with iron, or 28-0-4 with iron. Be sure to adjust your watering schedule as the weather changes.
