Tips
When watering seed, keep the seed damp until germination and
avoid causing the water to pool.

If a bluish tint occurs or an indention remains from footprints
the lawn is stressed from under watering and should be watered more often.

 If soil is extremely soft, mushy, or contains dichondra, moss, mushrooms, or smells musty
 it is being watered too often.

When fertilizing your established lawn, use Richards "Super Lawn Food Plus Iron" to keep it green.
Use Richards "Organic Worm" to unlock hard soil deposits and break down animal damage to your lawn;
it will also speed up seed germination.

Over Seeding
WARNING: If you do not over seed be sure to deep water at least once a month to prevent damage. 

Unfortunately, all Bermuda type lawns are considered summer grasses, which are dormant in the winter.
Generally turning brown or resembling dead grass.
To avoid this you can either dye the grass or over seed.
When over seeding you are given different choices of grass to choose from.

if you are over seeding a Sod/Tif a.k.a. Hybrid Bermuda you must use either Perennial Rye or Poa Trivialis.
You cannot use Annual Rye, it tends to fight the Hybrid Bermuda and will cause more problems in the long run.
Over seeding should be done around October 15th - 18th or when nighttime temperature is below 85 degrees.
If you seed before that time you run the risk of high temperatures burning up your grass before it has a chance to start.
