Lawn Stress from Extreme Heat

“Scorched earth” normally describes a military battle plan, but these days the term could just as easily apply to some of the commercial property lawns in and around the Phoenix metro area.

Extreme heat and lack of rain are not only defeating Arizona lawns, they’re killing them off if the owners and manager are not making sure they get enough water.

There’s no relief in sight. The outlook for the next two weeks says we’ll see the same red-hot, bone-dry conditions the region is now experiencing, and longer-term forecasts say the weather in the Arizona desert could be “hot to very hot” through mid-August.  With temps running 110 plus for days on end the green grass on your property is in real danger without proper watering.

So what should you be doing about watering your lawns? Throughout the city, many lawns are obviously stressed by the heat. Those not regularly watered have gone into dormancy, and some, the experts say, may already be damaged so badly they’ll have to be replanted.

“Get some water on your lawn,” say the turfgrass experts.  Keep in mind that sodded lawns never seem to have quite the hardiness lawns grown from seed achieve.  But proper watering is the keep to having your lawn survive this summer’s record heat.
