Here's a taste of Appalachian Spring flowers. It was a drought year last year and I lost a LOT of trilliums. Here some hearty survivors.

bermuda grass? you live in FL.? LOL I dealt with that stuff awhile.gawd i hate that stuff. frigin mini saws that stuff.LOl tuff. but can be tamped but take a bit of doing.
Advantages
Bermudagrasses can be grown throughout the state and are the most widely adapted turfgrass species in Georgia. They tolerate extreme temperature and rainfall conditions and will grow in acid or alkaline soils. However, they grow best in well-drained soils with a Ph of 6.0 to 6.5. They have a rapid growth and establishment rate and recover rapidly from damage. They will generally recover from most disease and insect invasions without the use of chemicals. The bermudagrasses also have good salt tolerance which is very useful in coastal areas. The hybrids are fine-textured, have a light to dark green color and are low-growing. These characteristics have made berumdagrasses the preferred grass for sports fields throughout the warm, humid climate regions of the world.
Disadvantages
With the exception of common bermudagrass and the new improved seeded types, bermudagrasses must be established vegetatively. They are also generally the least shade tolerant turfgrasses and will grow under scattered pine trees but not under deciduous trees. In order to obtain the best quality turf, bermudagrasses must be mowed closer and more often than other turfgrasses. In fact, reel mowers are needed for "golf course" quality turf.
Diseases and insects seldom kill bermuda, but brown patch, dollar spot and mole crickets can damage a turf significantly. Because of the rapid growth of bermudagrasses it can be difficult to prevent encroachment onto sidewalks, curbs and planting beds. However, new plant growth regulators can significantly reduce this edging requirement
Varieties
Common---Also called "Arizona Common", is one of the least desirable selections for lawns. It has the poorest color, density, and leaf texture and is not recommended for a high quality lawn. However, common is very popular because it can be easily established with seed.
Improved seeded types---In the mid-1980's research to develop improved seeded types from "Arizona Common" became very popular. This research has resulted the development of some "improved" seeded bermudagrasses. Examples include "Jackpot", "Mirage", "Sahara", "Blackjack", and "Yuma". In general, some of these new turfgrasses may have slightly improved color, density, turf quality, and traffic tolerance and some have slightly better low temperature survival than "Arizona Common". However, these grasses still don't produce the high quality turf of the hybrids.
"Princess" is the exception of the seeded types. This seeded bermudagrass has turf color, density and leaf texture, that produces turf quality very similar to "Tifway" bermudagrass.
Hybrid Bermudagrasses---Compared to seeded types, the hybrids generally have more disease resistance, greater turf density, better weed resistance, fewer seedheads, fine and softer leaf texture and better color. They also produce no viable seed and must be planted by vegetative means. All of the improved bermudas described here have been developed and released cooperatively by the University of Georgia and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
For the highest quality bermudagrass turf use sod certified by the Georgia Crop Improvement Association (GCIA). This grass is certified for its genetic purity and is free of noxious weeds like other bermudagrasses and nutsedge. This grass should be delivered with a GCIA blue tag verifying its quality.
Tifway or Tifton 419 is the industry standard that was released in 1960. It is a sterile hybrid that is adapted to the USDA plant hardiness zones 7 through 10 and is used in similar areas throughout the world. It is a low growing, dense, dark green turfgrass. If Tifway is not certified by the Georgia Crop Improvement Association (GCIA) or a cooperating agency then it is probably contaminated with other types of bermudagrass.
Tifway 2 is a sterile hybrid selected from irradiated stolons of Tifway in 1971 and released in 1981. It looks and performs very similar to Tifway. Like Tifway, Tifway 2 should not be relied upon if it is not GCIA certified.
TifSport is a new, improved sterile hybrid selected from irradiated stolons of Midiron bermudagrass. Compared to Tifway, TifSport has better cold hardiness, more density and tensile strength, more mole cricket non-preference, and superior response to lower than 0.75" mowing heights. It is patented and has been licensed to qualified growers who will grow it only under GCIA certification.
Tifton 10 is a vegetatively produced bermudagrass collected in Shanghai, China. It sheds pollen but sets limited seed, therefore is only vegetatively reproduced. It is relatively coarse textured and has a bluish-green color. It establishes rapidly and has a much lower growing habit than the hybrid bermudagrass and appears to be less susceptible to dollar spot. It appears suited to low maintenance of 2 to 3 pounds N per 1000 square feet and a mowing height of 1.5 inches. It was released in 1998 and noncertified material is sold under the name of Shanghai.
and you can put a small bit of liquid dish soap in say 3-5 gallons of water or smaller depending on the size of the path. dont know what pest it could be short of a disease ,they'll all come to the surface because of the soap and you seeeeeee whats what.
. typically you have to double it up or even triple it up and thatch and pull the roots prior lessening the issue where your plastic will lay at. tamping the growth enough to stop or stall it an entire season or three.not talking about tamping the grounds, just the growth LOL!

Oh ya, the south is riddled with bermuda. It escaped the golf courses, and some people planted it when it was marketed as a "self-repairing lawn"
The only way to stop it without chemicals was solarization. It knocked it right out. Still comes back a bit, I pulled a lot out of the main garden this spring where I had let it go last year. I tried horticultural vinegar, vigorous weeding, ground cloth, mulch, wood/rock/plastic/living borders. Everything I could find.

my buddy in alabama underestimated the bermuda grass, he tilled it a hundered times, and just spread the stolons all over the place. It took him years to get it out, because he dumped raised bed soil over the whole area and the mother roots were a foot deep.LOL.
