    Las Cruces lawn care starts with understanding your soil. The sandy soil mix (58% sand) in Las Cruces means water moves through quickly, while the alkaline pH of 8.0 affects how plants absorb nutrients. Most Las Cruces lawns are around 1,254 square feet, making them manageable for DIY care.

    Warm-season grasses like bermudagrass thrive in New Mexico's climate. These grasses need specific care:

    • Test your soil yearly to check nutrient levels
    • Apply fertilizer when grass is actively growing
    • Water deeply but less often to encourage deep root growth
    • Mow at proper height to help grass handle heat stress

    The sandy soil affects your lawn care routine:

    1. Add organic matter to improve soil structure
    2. Split fertilizer into smaller, more frequent doses
    3. Water in shorter bursts to prevent runoff
    4. Monitor iron levels, as high pH can limit iron uptake
