Best fit
Bermuda is strongest in hot regions and full-sun lawns. It is especially useful where summer performance matters more than winter color.
Why it keeps ranking for drought terms
Searchers who want the toughest warm-season lawn often end up on bermuda pages first. That happens because bermuda handles heat, sun, and recovery pressure better than many alternatives once it is established.
Main tradeoff
The same vigor that makes bermuda attractive can also make it feel aggressive. That is fine for many homeowners, but it is worth knowing before planting.
Where to look next
If bermuda seems close but not perfect, compare it with zoysia or review the Texas region page.
