• Maintaining healthy, green grass is a major
  struggle for homeowners everywhere. The cost to
  maintain green grass has shot up exponentially
  since 2011, when drought in many areas started,
  and still continues up to the present time. The
  resources used to maintain lawns have also been
  limited due to the drought - so much that the
  local government in many areas have implemented
  guidelines on how to conserve water for
  irrigation purposes.

• Grass maintenance is even more of a problem for
  people living in extremely dry areas, such as
  Phoenix. Arizona is currently experiencing one of
  the driest seasons on record, and the drought is
  greatly affecting the quality of green grass in
  Phoenix and in other cities.

• Phoenix has a subtropical desert climate, which
  by nature is supposed to be inhabitable for green
  grass to grow. However, with extensive
  irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides, grass
  types such as Bermuda grass and Rye grass could
  be grown in Phoenix. The city offers one of the
  harshest environments for green grass to grow.
  Phoenix has long, extremely hot summers, and it
  also has the hottest average high temperatures of
  any major city in the United States. These
  conditions only affect the viability of green
  grass to grow in Phoenix, and while it is still
  possible to maintain healthy grass in Phoenix,
  the climate in the area should give you an idea
  of what it takes to keep the grass healthy
  all-year-round.

Expensive preservation and maintenance for
non-native grass

• Bermuda 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.

• Rye Grass
• Rye grass is typically grown in Phoenix during
  winter, when Bermuda grass becomes dormant. Rye
  grass cannot survive in the intense Phoenix
  summer heat, and it needs to be replanted every
  fall, typically between the second and third week
  of October. Rye grass is typically overseeded
  with dormant Bermuda grass. Water Rye grass every
  3-5 days, during nighttime. Rye grass quickly
  dies out as soon as the climate warms again to
  more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, typically at
  the time of the year when Bermuda grass starts to
  grow again.

• Key points
• 1. Water Bermuda grass every two days, preferably
  at night or early in the morning.
• 2. Increase watering intervals when using
  fertilizer
• 3. Check soil moisture every day
• 4. (optional) seed with Rye grass during winter
• 5. Water Rye grass every 3-5 days

• Best Artificial Grass in Phoenix
• Artificial grass is arguably the best choice for
  homeowners and businesses in Phoenix. The
  maintenance for natural grass lawns cost
  households thousands of dollars every year for
  fertilizer, pesticide, irrigation, lawn equipment
  and the hours spent taking care of the lawn. The
  best artificial grass in Phoenix is the lawn
  fixture of choice for homeowners and businesses
  alike as it does not need as much care and
  maintenance as natural grass does, and it stays
  green all-year-long. Artificial grass is quickly
  gaining popularity as more and more homeowners
  and businesses realize that the best artificial
  grass in Phoenix is the practical solution for
  their lawn needs.
