If your community usually overseeds Bermuda each fall, this is a good year to rethink it.
Ask: does this area need to be green all winter?
Keep functional turf, let other Bermuda go dormant, or replace unused areas with desert plants.

Beginning in 2027, the Lower Basin will receive less Colorado River water.
Phoenix is ready through decades of planning & new supplies.
Conservation still matters—if you plant winter ryegrass, consider skipping it. Let Bermuda go dormant.

Thinking about planting winter grass? Consider skipping it.
Overseeding can use around 8,000 gallons per 1,000 sq ft each winter, vs around 500 for dormant Bermuda.
Let it rest — it’ll turn golden, not dead, and green up in spring.
