Sorry, for what may be a newb question...

I've got horizontal growth on top of the grass (common Bermuda), if there is a proper term for the rhizome growth please correct me. My HOC is .75" with a rotary. (I sharpen the blades every week and usually cut when the lawn is about 1".) How do I correct this, as it doesn't look appealing?

Yes I'd like to cut it with a reel, but don't have one and the wife would kill me if I bought another mower. I didn't know how obsessed I'd be with the cut below 1". I finnaly bought PGR (t-nex) after @Ware posted that video. I'm hoping the PGR will help with this?

Rent a verticutter to break up and cut the stolons (runners on top of the ground) However if your lawn hasnt filled out from winter. It might get less obvious when the lawn thickens up.

@Tellycoleman it hasn't quite thickened from winter fully. The sod was laid last year and had to of been cut from 2 different areas, more established vs less established. Because I'm struggling to get it all to fill in anyway. I still have quite a few thin spots. When would be too late in the season to verticut? I'm pushing real hard to get it to thicken early on...
