With high temperatures and frequent dry periods, this city is beautiful, but challenging. Consider the following grass types for the best results, no matter what.<\/span><\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>1. Sand Dune Sedge<\/b><\/h3>    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This sedge is common in beach landscapes, but can also grow successfully on your lawn. This species is both shade- and drought-tolerant, allowing it to grow well on any lawn. It can tolerate a variety of soil types and is a fantastic landscaping grass. Although it does tend to grow in clumps, making it inopportune for a blanket covering, it is one of the most low-maintenance grasses you can grow. It is attractive regardless of whether it is grown long or kept neatly trimmed, providing versatility for any style or design.<\/span><\/p>    <p>Lawn Mowing Height: 2 inches<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>2. Native California Bentgrass<\/b><\/h3>    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This grass is one of the most common turf grasses in California. As a native species, it is well-acclimated to California&#8217;s challenging conditions and has a vibrant green color. It can be kept long or trimmed short, tolerating both sunny and shaded environments. Although it can handle moderate amounts of moisture, it tolerates drought exceptionally well. This grass grows in a more uniform fashion, making it a good choice for a traditional lawn.<\/span><\/p>    <p>Lawn Mowing Height: 1-2 inches<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>3.&nbsp;Buffalograss<\/b><\/h3>    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This soft green grass is native to the midwest, and can handle a wide variety of climatic conditions. It is incredibly hearty, tolerating drought as well as extreme temperatures and large amounts of shade. Because this grass seeds itself, it is a solid option for the homeowner who is not interested in frequent reseeding. This grass grows to short heights, allowing it to be planted and left alone, requiring no regular mowing. <\/span><\/p>    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only downside to this grass is that it doesn&#8217;t hold up well to frequent traffic. While you should never drive across your lawn or leave ornaments or other lawn debris on it for long amounts of time, this is especially true with buffalo grass, as it does not hold up well under pressure.<\/span><\/p>    <p>Lawn Mowing Height:1-2 inches<\/p>    <p><strong>Grass Seed Options: <br><\/strong>\u2013<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Everwilde-Farms-Buffalo-Native-Packet\/dp\/B00HMFP60A?crid=NWI8QK73K8JM&amp;keywords=buffalo%2Bgrass%2Bseed&amp;qid=1679580727&amp;sprefix=buffalograss%2Bseed%2Caps%2C118&amp;sr=8-7&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=ee866526b8218a009ef0dca706c31971&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Everwilde Farms Buffalograss Seeds<\/a> (1 lb. of seeds)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Scotts-Pursue-Grama-Natural-Seeding\/dp\/B0CVRK4C8T?crid=32CFZ06UAKIJA&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EYqmFrnnzWEUMLCoLRZE1pZ9dwWaoCmplkcXHd0L8VjfdL6xC5vpoZDaIYC_pZCx0h4i51fR9lsHkFYQxd_pbhRYJWu6c8WAykM61t3zHnn89rpTLdgdqwE41I5sD9sWiqHZM9MiMJ4rAkrGQnXVp9HyGuQkBBAgfcaYkVZTq1D1Mugc_b1JWxfFBwM-QfKryM7Q6Kp6fhC-nb7hQ9DQsGsYdziLrrUqGiQ9CCtcT8y6KzjC6FWIdmFDfLRoqDuWZLJ25er_6sneZJnL4yh-PaTgEPFCqy8lWvCL7cf5FcE.ryBdryRDwDBvnhc7z13dEEPcdXTNI2kDYTFQf9zvmrI&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=buffalo%2Bgrass%2Bseed&amp;qid=1725989030&amp;sprefix=buffalo%2Bgrass%2Bseed%2Caps%2C156&amp;sr=8-4&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=52af76f8e8371bc45a536c50faefeffd&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Scotts Pursue Buffalograss with Natural Seed<\/a> (1 lb. of seeds)<br>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Outsidepride-Buffalo-Drought-Tolerant-Xeriscape\/dp\/B004MN8YX6?crid=23W4DNBXKEIZ3&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I4QLNxitur5OFt5GSF8JKJIdqs1RRd80-FVMXt0ylbE1FyGQTZ74XeR9CVX4FVQko8OgtTyd2a06wvq34AISIqlEd0qlMLCARlBegkQ2i_3-pBiEicDulbIpbEr1MLmi3j4iwOQm9iyGbj_cgWjV6zvlbWC8gzBpWZwmwDCgjV6sZaJLvS7pwTSsZZhz-PZRw2CmbrrRIJM_9gGexNZ1V3ADtBpwnX_VHsFFriYYf_33WHuDSPPum_l324F340HBCPGjtogyiXrk09XphoxIxOM6MdhhtCjWpWnYGT1eGTxkxJvwdR5WHrY9Qydk3ItusitBSl0tJoxoYfmLmwGThGlKaRFJbBiu1QH8HnJcFcA.UYU5O2AwOyryYkjyHzr23GsuS1h6dSpMUtGxG9uovR8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=buffalograss%2Bseed&amp;qid=1739547183&amp;s=lawn-garden&amp;sprefix=buffalograss%2Bseed%2Clawngarden%2C71&amp;sr=1-5&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnstarterla-20&amp;linkId=311a65bdd67739a53f5f15374ba346fb&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Outsidepride Perennial Buffalo Grass Seed<\/a> (2 lb. of seeds)<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>4.
