I water every other day, mow once a week at about 3 inches high, and used lesco fertilizer. Why are some areas not filling in, why some areas not green, and why do I have dollar spots?

Bermuda grass questions

throw some sand on the bare spots or put a piece of sod on top of it. I usually go to the nursery and buy sod and then cut it into quarters to fill in the bare spots. There are dollar weeds on the moon if that is what you're referring to and there are certain sprays you can use that will not kill the Bermuda. Just make sure to check the label or ask.
For the next couple of weeks, mow every 4-5 days. Water about 20 minutes every day it does not rain.
.....and this late in the year, especially since it has been so hot, raise your mower deck to the highest position.
I tend to agree. I have a rain gauge and it can downpour for 30 minutes straight and will only measure maybe 1/4-1/2". Consider that when you water it's getting nowhere near this and Bermuda needs an inch of rain a week ideally. It's probably not watering enough. You're also not supposed to take more than 1/3 of the blade height off when you cut. So, if it's getting tall and you only mow once a week you're basically scalping it. Rotary mowers do nothing but tear the grass anyway as well.
My neighbor waters everyday, even when it does rain and hers is thick and green. Plus no fertilizer either.
What about her lawn?
