Yards & conditions in San Diego
San Diego sits in USDA hardiness zone 10b with dry Mediterranean summers and wet, mild winters. Local yards typically deal with varied clay-loam soils and ongoing drought, strict water-use rules and a strong push toward low-water landscaping. That’s why San Diego lawns are usually planted with drought-tolerant fescue blends and low-water groundcovers, with the best results in fall and early spring. A local pro factors all of this in — read more in our guide.
When to schedule irrigation in San Diego
New irrigation installs in San Diego are easiest in fall and early spring, before peak watering demand sets in. In colder areas, schedule winterization each fall to protect the lines.
