5 Tips for a Beautiful Arizona Lawn
Maintaining a beautiful lawn in Arizona's desert climate requires some special knowledge. Here are our top 5 tips:
1. Choose the Right Grass - Bermuda grass and buffalo grass thrive in Arizona's heat. They're drought-tolerant and can handle intense sunlight.
2. Water Deeply but Infrequently - Deep watering encourages deeper root growth. Water early in the morning to minimize evaporation.
3. Mow at the Right Height - Keep your grass at 2-3 inches during summer. Taller grass shades the soil, reducing water loss.
4. Fertilize Seasonally - Apply fertilizer in spring and fall when grass is actively growing. Avoid fertilizing during the hottest months.
5. Aerate Annually - Arizona's clay soils compact easily. Aerating once a year improves water penetration and root growth.
