Lawn Care Considerations in Tempe
Desert lawns face spring dead spot fungus in Bermuda after wet winters, plus rust fungus in overseeded perennial ryegrass. Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, and most Southwest cities mandate watering restrictions by day-of-week, time-of-day, or volume budget. Bermuda is the only viable warm-season grass — drought-tolerant and heat-loving. Many homeowners are converting to xeriscape or artificial turf due to water cost; check city rebate programs.
