Zone 7a. Is it possible that this was due to grubs or disease or something else? I put down grub ex already so that hopefully this can’t happen again if this was due to grubs. How long do you think it will take for this to come back?

Definitely not from grubs, looks like red clay. I don’t have much to offer, but following because curious.
Fuck, that’s depressing. No idea, curious to know too.
Damn man. Do you have pet Cows by chance?
I have never seen bermudagrass killed like that since it is so hardy.
I would send your soil sample to the lab to see what is going on.
Is that a picture of the same section of ~~hard~~ yard?
Because I have a very hard time believing it went from golf course to… that… in 6 months.
Edit: damn, autocorrect. You should get out more.
Maybe you’re doing too much.
Was this grown from seed last year? That’s the only way I could see this possible. Often times seed won’t make it through the winter if it wasn’t really established.
Bermuda soccer fields I try to take care of in 7a looks similar. Watered all summer and fall during drought. Looked great when it went dormant. But teams practiced on it all winter and boy is it struggling right now. Hope it fills in by June 1. Dogs may have just wore yours down.
Bermuda is barely undormant yet. Ground temps need to rise more, it’s been a cool spring. And it needs pure sun. I see a bunch of shade from trees. That will affect Bermuda grass. You may consider planting a shade tolerant grass in those areas. Bermuda will naturally choke out that grass in some areas, butit should offer a fuller look
Did you scalp before winter? Bermuda likes to be a little long to shield it from cold in the winter.
Where exactly do you live? My state has been in a drought since last September.
No soil. Where did the soil go?
Dog or lawn – not both
