Sprigging

Sprigging is the process of removing stems from mature bermuda grass strands and replanting the vegetative cuttings in a different location. For small areas, this may be done by hand but for large areas it is done with mechanical row planters. This process helps with growing sod in quickly and evenly. It is very popular with athletic fields and golf courses. With proper care, your Bermuda field will have completely grown in within 5-8 weeks.

Step 1

We dig the Bermuda sprigs with our equipment and load them on our trailer.

Step 2

We transport the sprigs from our field into your prepared soil and start planting. We discuss with you beforehand the needs before arriving to the job site.

Step 3

We then plant the entire field with our planter. Depending on the job size, it can take several loads of sprigs.

Step 4

The sprigs are planted heavily in the prepared soil.

Step 5

In-ground irrigation is a MUST. These prepared fields will need to be watered heavily.

Step 6

Within 5-8 weeks, your Bermuda field will have grown in beautifully!
