Landscapers Sacramento CA | Call Home Landscape And Nursery

For our area, we recommend a coarse, chunky bark mulch or shredded redwood. These heavier materials interlock better and are less likely to wash or blow away during our seasonal winds and rains compared to finer mulches. Proper installation depth (2-3 inches) is also key to stability and moisture retention.

Start by choosing a drought-tolerant grass variety suited to our climate, like certain fescues or Bermuda grass. We also advise on proper aeration, deep but infrequent watering schedules (early morning), and applying a soil wetting agent to improve water penetration. A healthy, deep root system is your lawn's best defense against heat.

Early spring is perfect for renovating your lawn and applying fresh mulch before the summer heat sets in. Fall is another excellent window for overseeding tired lawns and replenishing mulch to protect plant roots over the winter. Tackling these tasks in mild weather gives your landscape the best foundation.
