The Principles Behind Every Program
Cycle-and-soak beats one long soak
Sun City sits on thin clay over limestone, which sheds water almost as fast as it takes it. Two or three short watering pulses with a break between them put far more water into the root zone than one long run that mostly runs off down the curb.
Mow high, mow often
Cutting no more than a third of the blade at a time keeps hybrid Bermuda and Zoysia dense enough to crowd weeds out on their own — which matters more here than usual, since the design guidelines expect full coverage rather than bare patches.
Aerate during the growth surge
Core aeration belongs in late spring or early summer in Sun City, when the lawn can close the holes in days. Aerating compacted clay while the turf is dormant just stresses it without the recovery.
