Rancho Bernardo runs inland with 90-100°F summer peaks and 13 inches of annual rainfall. Active-adult communities, golf-course-adjacent properties, and aging 1970s-80s tract irrigation now at renewal age. HOA-managed common-area contracts, golf-course-adjacent maintenance, and drought-tolerant conversions lead the work.. Inland weed pressure is among the heaviest, crabgrass, spurge, and goosegrass explode June-September.
When should pre-emergent go down in San Diego?
Two windows. Winter weeds (poa annua, chickweed, henbit), apply mid-October. Summer weeds (crabgrass, spurge, goosegrass), apply mid-February. Missing the window by 3-4 weeks loses most of the benefit. We schedule these by calendar, not by sight.
Do you use organic-only options?
Yes, on request. Corn gluten meal pre-emergent, acetic-acid (horticultural vinegar) post-emergent, and flame weeding on hardscape. Organic works but costs more and requires more frequent visits, typically 8-10/year vs. 6 for synthetic.
