October Yard Updates

Tips for your Arizona yard this month of October!

As we move into October, your yard has unique needs here in the East Valley. At The Yard Experts, we’ve highlighted three key updates to help your landscape thrive this season.

1. October is the Month for Winter Grass Overseeding

If you’re planning on overseeding this year, now’s the time. Here’s what overseeding with The Yard Experts includes:

• Edging and scalping your existing Bermuda grass
• Spreading high-quality winter rye seed
• Applying starter fertilizer for strong root growth
• Adjusting sprinkler nozzles for even coverage
• Programming your irrigation controller for your newly seeded areas

Pro Tip: Turn off your irrigation for at least two weeks before your overseeding service. Why? This helps your Bermuda grass go dormant, allowing your winter rye seed to establish successfully.

2. Fall is a Great Time to Plant

With cooler weather setting in, October is the perfect month to add new plants to your yard. The risk of extreme heat or cold is low, making it easier for new plants to take root and thrive.

3. Plan Ahead for November Fertilization

Looking ahead pays off. October is the ideal time to start preparing for November fertilization treatments on your bushes and trees. Giving your plants the nutrients they need before the cold weather sets in ensures a healthier, stronger yard all winter long.
