Mow at 3 inch height. Mow no more than 1/3 of the leaf off at one mowing. Use sharp mower blades.

Water to supplement rainfall shortages only. Avoid fixed timer irrigation settings. Bermuda best performs when it receives approximately 1 inch of water per week. If one or more inches of rainfall occur in a week, additional irrigation is not necessary. (Example: if 1/2 inch of rain occurs within a growing week, apply 1/2 inch by irrigation.) Do not waste water by over watering.
