May – May Lawn Prep in Tracy and Mountain House, California: Beat the Summer Heat
May brings warmer, sunnier days to Tracy and Mountain House, California, and summer heat is just around the corner. Think of this month as “prep time” for your lawn.
Adjust your irrigation schedule so the lawn gets deeper soakings fewer times per week. This helps roots grow deeper and handle heat better.
A well-timed fertilizer application in May boosts color and density, building strength ahead of summer stress. It’s also a great time to refresh mulch and edging for clean curb appeal.
For Bermuda lawns
- Bermuda thrives in the warmth. You can keep it a bit shorter and encourage a dense, carpet-like look.
- May is a strong fertilizer month for Bermuda, as it’s actively growing and ready to use the nutrients.
For Fescue lawns
- Fescue will start feeling the heat soon. Keep mowing height higher and avoid aggressive fertilization heading into summer.
- Make sure irrigation is set up to keep soil moist but not soggy—fescue prefers consistent moisture.
