Advantages of Celebration Bermuda Grass
Celebration has great wear tolerance, which makes it good for sports. We also recommend it for homeowners who have very destructive pets and haven’t found a grass that can stand up to Fido’s escapades.
Celebration Bermuda Grass has finished best in numerous university research studies for wear tolerance.
Drawbacks of Celebration Bermuda Grass
It’s very high maintenance, needing to be cut three times a week during the growing season. Add daily watering and monthly weed and fertilization treatments and you have a pretty needy lawn.
Who Should Choose Celebration Bermuda Grass?

It’s not quite as popular with homeowners, due to its high maintenance needs. They often choose Zoysia instead. It has a similar look, but it’s less work.
