About Bermuda Grass
Bermuda grass is a warm-season grass valued for its exceptional heat and drought tolerance and the ability to endure heavy use and recover quickly from damage. These characteristics make it an excellent green cover for high-traffic areas, including residential lawns, golf courses, and other athletic fields.
Additionally, Bermuda grass has the fastest growth rate among other warm-season varieties. It spreads by above-ground stems, called stolons, and below-ground stems, known as rhizomes. This aggressive growth rate contributes to its excellent wear tolerance.

Grass Plug Coverage
Each SodPods® grass plug is approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. A 16-pack grass plug tray can cover up to 32 square feet when spaced 18 inches apart. For faster coverage, reduce the spacing between plugs.
How to Plant Bermuda Grass Plugs
SodPods® make planting grass plugs easy and convenient. Follow these simple steps:
1. Dig Holes: Use a shovel or the SodPods® sod plug tool to dig holes for the plugs, spacing them 6-18 inches apart.
2. Drop a NutriPod®: For best results, we recommend using NutriPod®—a specialized lawn fertilizer designed for SodPods®. Simply drop one NutriPod® into each planting hole before inserting the grass plugs. This provides essential nutrients for the plugs, ensuring healthy and robust grass growth.
3. Insert Plugs: Insert a grass plug into each hole and press firmly into the soil. Ensure the plugs are upright, with the grass blades level with the ground.
4. Water: Water frequently for the first two weeks after installation to keep the soil moist several inches deep. Adjust the frequency as needed based on weather conditions. Once new growth appears, reduce watering to 1-2 times weekly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make grass plugs spread faster?
Encourage grass plugs to spread faster by planting them in well-prepared soil, free of weeds and debris. Water adequately, especially during the establishment stage, to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Before planting the plugs, we recommend fertilizing the soil with NutriPod® to promote healthy growth and faster spread. Simply drop a NutriPod® into each hole before inserting the plug; the pre-measured fertilizer granules dissolve slowly, providing essential nutrients that help the grass establish and grow up to two times faster.
