Expensive preservation and maintenance for non-native grass

Bermuda grass is one of the most resilient types of grass against dry and hot climates, which makes it one of the top choices for Phoenix residents. Bermuda grass can survive in the harsh Phoenix climate provided that it is given ample water throughout its life cycle. Typically, Bermuda grass only needs to be watered every three days, but due to the intense heat and drought that the area is experiencing, it is recommended to water Bermuda grass at least once every two days, and even more frequent if you are using fertilizers. The heat tends to dry the soil out during the day, so water your grass early in the morning, or at night to allow the soil to soak up the water. Given the intense heat, there’s really no way to tell if the soil is still damp after a long, hot day, other than to drive a piece of stick or rod to the ground to see if it goes in at least 6 inches without much trouble. If not, you should water your grass again to prevent it from drying out. Bermuda grass typically enters a dormant period during the winter, where it becomes dormant. Some Phoenix residents choose to take this opportunity and plant Rye grass, which makes for a nice, winter grass.
