I just heard that Bermudagrass should be cut down to about 2" to prevent it from becoming leggy. Bi-weekly mowing. Any opinions?

Here in Florida, I've always set the cutting height at three inches.

If dethatching or core aerating this fall, I would mow tall fescue beforehand around 2.5".

grass cutting tips
Definitely 3' inches. Cut it often, it will help keep it healthy besides nice looking.

As low as my mower will cut it, that way I don't have to mow as often, after I cut the grass is level with the curb. it almost looks like green peach fuz on the dirt.

mikelenz - Excellent advice! 
Worst thing you can do is let it grow several inches beyond you're cutting height and take off too much at one time. Cutting more often is the best way to go.

For those who are wanting to cut it as low as possible keep in mind the lower you cut it the faster it grows.

Already finding several neighbors making a huge mistake of lowering the cutting deck... Keep it high.
