Quick answer

Is Bermuda right for a DFW yard?

Yes, if the yard gets six or more hours of direct sun. Bermuda pallets start at $269. Bermuda is the most drought-tolerant and traffic-tolerant grass we sell, but it thins out fast under trees. It is the right call for open front yards, backyards with kids and dogs, and new-build lots across north Fort Worth, Far North Dallas, south Arlington, and Mansfield.
