Spring (March–May)

Spring is the most aggressive weed season in Tempe. In ASU Campus Area (zip 85281) and South Tempe, desert weeds like spurge, puncturevine, and Russian thistle germinate rapidly as temperatures warm. Dense housing near Arizona State University with apartment-specific pest challenges. Pre-emergent herbicides applied in February–March create a barrier that prevents weed seeds from establishing across Tempe's neighborhoods. If weeds are already visible, post-emergent treatments target them at the root.

Summer (June–August)

Tempe summer heat above 110°F suppresses most weed growth in Maricopa County but creates stress on Bermuda grass lawns throughout South Tempe and The Lakes. Proper irrigation timing (early morning, deep and infrequent), mowing height (2–3 inches), and fertilization keep lawns healthy. Monsoon rains in July trigger a second wave of weed germination near Tempe Town Lake that requires follow-up treatment for Tempe's 185K homes.

Fall (September–November)

Fall is overseeding season for Bermuda lawns in Tempe. From ASU Campus Area to The Lakes, annual ryegrass keeps yards green through winter while Bermuda goes dormant. A second round of pre-emergent in October prevents winter annual weeds like London Rocket and Sahara mustard across Maricopa County. Fertilize overseeded lawns every 4–6 weeks for best results.

Winter (December–February)

Winter weeds in Tempe include Bermuda grass (ironically), London Rocket, and various mustards — especially in rock yards near Tempe Town Lake and Papago Park. Pre-emergent from fall should be holding across ASU Campus Area and South Tempe, but spot treatments may be needed. February is the critical window for spring pre-emergent application — apply too late and you will be fighting weeds all season in Tempe.
