Here's a breakdown of the differences:

• Bermuda (Tifway 419):

• Considered the "ultimate in turf," but requires maximum care.

• Needs constant upkeep to ensure a long, healthy life.

• Tolerates heavy fertilization well and responds positively to it.

• Requires frequent mowing, ideally twice a week during summer.

• Benefits from regular fertilization programs.

• Needs 2 to 4 pounds of nitrogen fertilizer per 1000 square feet.

• Centipede:

• Known as the "lazy man's grass".

• Needs little to no maintenance compared to Bermuda.

• Can survive and thrive independently without much care.

• Requires less mowing and overall maintenance.

• Only requires 1 to 2 lbs of nitrogen per year.

• Thrives well in drought conditions or areas with limited water access.

In summary, If you prioritize a lush, high-quality lawn and are willing to invest the time and effort into frequent mowing, fertilization, and general care, Bermuda Tifffway 419 can produce outstanding results. However, if you prefer a lower-maintenance option that is still attractive and requires minimal upkeep, Centipede grass is the better choice.
