Lawns really begin to grow this month. You may notice dry spots. Your sprinklers may need to be cleaned and adjusted. You don't notice when a sprinkler is clogged in the winter. But lawns need the water they get now just to stay green.
Tall fescue is the best turf grass for most of California, including the Central Coast.
It is coarser than bluegrass and bluegrass-ryegrass blends, but it has many advantages over them. The roots are deeper, so it needs less water. It gets by on less fertilizer too. It tolerates shade much better than bluegrass. It does not become thin and patchy in shady areas in the winter.
