Fall Lawn Care

If you are not planning on winter overseeding your Arizona lawn, then you need to fertilize well. Your lawn needs plenty of nutrients to help it come back in the spring. Mow often and take off less to help your lawn stay green and healthy longer. You still need to water in the fall but you should be able to cut down on the water as the weather cools. In Arizona, the fall weather comes a little later than other climates so remember to keep watering during the heat but be prepared to cut it back in October/November. If you are overseeding, check out our article on fall overseeding. You can also check out http://www.landscapearizona.com/ for some great prices and the fall special.

Arizona Fall Overseeding

It is almost time to start thinking about overseeding your lawn with winter Rye grass in the Arizona desert. Overseeding is usually done in early October. We plant winter Rye grass in Arizona because our summer Bermuda grass goes dormant with the colder winter nights. If you plan to overseed, do not fertilize this fall. The idea is to let the Bermuda grass start to go dormant so we can cut it back and plant the new Rye grass. If you fertilize, then the Bermuda will continue to grow and won't take to overseeding very well. The lawn will need to be mowed very short prior to planting. The Rye grass seed needs to be put down and then covered with a mulch or seed cover. The seeds need to be kept wet in order to germinate and within a few weeks, you will have a beautiful lawn for the rest of the winter.
