Keeping your lawn green and healthy in Los Angeles’s climate requires a little strategy and consistency. Here are some of our most effective tips to maintain lush, vibrant grass all year long.
1. Mow Smart, Not Short
Set your mower blade to a height of 3 inches. Taller grass shades the soil, which prevents weeds and retains moisture—key for our dry summers.
2. Water Deeply, Less Often
Water early in the morning 2–3 times per week. Soaking your lawn less frequently helps roots grow deeper and more drought-resistant.
3. Feed and Aerate
Apply lawn fertilizer in spring and fall, and aerate once a year. These two steps give your grass nutrients and allow oxygen and water to reach the roots.
4. Don't Ignore Weeds
Pull weeds before they seed and use pre-emergent treatments in early spring. Staying proactive keeps your lawn clean and healthy.
