Product Information
Yukon Bermuda is the turf grass professional's top choice for projects from the equator through the transition zones of the world. In trials, it has shown excellent turf quality and winter hardiness at both 0.5 in. and 1.5 in. mowing heights. Yukon can be seeded on new projects, as well as interseeded into existing turf of similar quality. With the highest ratings for turfgrass quality, color, density and texture, Yukon Bermuda Grass Seed is the best choice for turf managers, wherever Bermudagrass is grown. Additionally, with its excellent winter survival and cold tolerance, Yukon Bermuda seed becomes a standalone choice for transition zone plantings.
Yukon blends well with other turf-type Bermuda grasses and uses up to 25% less water than other Bermuda grasses, while maintaining superior turf quality. Yukon Bermuda has approximately 1- 2 million seeds per pound.
Yukon Bermuda Grass Seed was developed as a hardy, turf-type Bermuda variety, making it a great option for land managers and superintendents at parks, athletic facilities and golf courses. This particular blend was developed by agronomists at the Oklahoma State University, which features one of the NCAA's premiere golf programs. We're not saying that the players benefit from playing on Yukon Bermuda Grass Seed...but we're not saying that they don't, either.
Coated Seed vs Raw Seed
Coated seed contains a clay-based surrounding shell that increases moisture retention and helps to reduce insect or fowl consumption. Coated seed contains approximately 50% coating weight, or inert weight, per pound of seed. Coated Yukon Bermuda Grass Seed is also easier to see after it is applied. Raw seed features no fillers, coatings, or treatments.

Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
