Do search for your County Extension service- you do have one, and they will have info online for lawn turf in your area.
For Oklahoma region Zone 7
1) Feed it. Use 10-20-10 in the early spring when 2/3 of lawn has turned green. One month later, use a 30-0-0 nitrogen fertilizer. If you use a slow feed product like Scott's you wont have to do this again for about 90 days. In late October use the 10-20-10 again. ALWAYS water it in good. Do it before a rain and you wont have to water.
2) Water it. If you can see your foot prints after walking across the lawn, it needs water. Water it good and deep and infrequently rather than lots of light sprinkles. burmudagrass tends to go dormate in the hot summer and turn brown (if you dont water it). Its not dead- the first good soaking rain and it will green up again.
3) Keep the weeds down. Weeds compete for nutrients and moisture. If you can get the weeds OUT, the grass will make it hard for new weeds to establish. Th e

Burmuda Grass is self suffecient, as long as you water it regularly. It is very dominant and if you ever want to change the type of grass in your yard, it will be hard to get rid of it. It spreads quickly and mostly dies out in winter but will come right back as soon as the weather is right to water again. Good Luck.
bermuda is a very hardy grass. Can practically grow in any soil condition. At the peak of the season, you may mow multiple times per week. Water regularly to keep it green. Using iron and pelletized lime will enhance regular fertilizers and keep it a dark green color. Late in the fall or early spring, mow it short to get all the dead ends off of it, then in the spring it will green up quickly. The only problem in the south where bermuda is prominent is nut grass than can be hard to control in the bermuda. Nut grass sends tubers out and spreads. Very hard to kill. Thankfully, bermuda is hardy and can handle grass killers used on the nutgrass.
