As temperatures rise across Arizona, landscape care requires a strategic shift to keep properties healthy and prepared for the intense summer months. During this season Sundance Landscape Maintenance focuses on seasonal transitions that protect turf, strengthen root systems, and prepare trees for monsoon weather.
If you oversewed your lawn for winter ryegrass, one of the most important changes in late spring is transitioning winter ryegrass to summer Bermuda grass. This process begins when nighttime temperatures consistently exceed 65 degrees. Rather than increasing watering during color changes, which many mistake for drought stress, we carefully reduce irrigation to allow ryegrass to fade and Bermuda to emerge stronger. This is paired with strategic mowing, aeration when needed, and targeted fertilization to encourage healthy growth.
If you did not over seeded, the transition process is simpler but still requires attention. Adjusting mowing heights, increasing deep watering, and applying nutrients ensures Bermuda grass thrives as it comes out of dormancy.
Beyond turf, early summer also marks the start of monsoon preparation. Strong winds can pose serious risks to untrimmed trees, making proactive pruning essential for safety and property protection. Our team works closely with homeowners/property managers to trim and shape trees, reducing wind resistance and minimizing potential damage.
At Sundance, we don’t just maintain landscapes, we educate and partner with our clients. From turf transitions to monsoon preparedness, our goal is to deliver reliable, informed service that keeps properties looking their best year-round.
