As the evenings start to cool off, we tend to get lots of questions about when to overseed in Arizona. Here a few tips:
• Don’t overseed too soon
• Wait until at least 3 consecutive nights of temperatures in the 60’s
• Don’t cut your grass all the way to the dirt
• Before you put the seed down, make sure your irrigation system is fully functioning (or call us for an irrigation tune-up for only $25!)
• Once the seed is down, keep it wet until it germinates (we suggest several times a day for 5-7 minutes each)
• By week 3 or 4, you should start to see new grass, which means you can cut back the watering to every other day for 10 to 12 minutes a cycle.
• Maintaining the new grass is just as important as getting the seed down correctly, let us know if you need any help.
