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
