    Escondido lawn care starts with understanding your soil. The typical lawn in Escondido, California measures about 1867 sq ft with slightly basic soil (pH 7.3) that's primarily sandy (58% sand, 32% silt, 10% clay). This composition affects how you should approach lawn care throughout the year.

    Warm-season grasses like bermuda and zoysia dominate in Escondido, thriving in the region's climate. These grass types:

    • Need less frequent watering once established
    • Prefer mowing at 1.5-2 inches height
    • Grow actively during summer months

    The soil contains good levels of phosphorus (127 ppm) and potassium (135.5 ppm), supporting strong root development and drought resistance. However, sandy soils can lose nutrients quickly through watering.

    For effective lawn care in Escondido:

    • Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth
    • Apply fertilizer timed to warm-season grass growth cycles
    • Monitor soil nutrients with a Sunday soil test kit to maintain optimal levels

    A Sunday Custom Lawn Plan can help you maintain your Escondido lawn with products designed specifically for your soil conditions. Check out The Shed for more seasonal lawn care tips.
