A year-round fertilization plan for Bermuda lawns in Zone 9a. Adjust based on your lawn's condition and soil test results.
Early Spring (March)
Apply when soil temps hit 55°F in Las Vegas. Prevents crabgrass before it germinates.
Late Spring (May)
Your Bermuda is actively growing now. This is the most important feeding of the year.
Summer (July)
Light feeding only — Las Vegas's heat and humidity stress the lawn. Water deeply after applying.
Early Fall (September)
Strengthens roots before winter dormancy. Last chance for weed control.
The most common mistake Las Vegas homeowners make is fertilizing at the wrong time. With Bermuda, you want to feed during active growth — never in winter when your lawn is dormant.
Before you buy fertilizer, know your lawn size. The average Las Vegas lot is 7,200 square feet, but that includes your house, driveway, and patio. Use LotSite to measure just the grass area — then plug that number into our fertilizer calculator to get the exact bags you need.
For a 7,200-square-foot lot in Las Vegas, you'll typically need 2–4 bags of fertilizer per application depending on the product. Over-fertilizing wastes money and can burn your lawn — measuring accurately saves both.
