Watering Lawns Guide

The optimal time to water your lawn is between 5 and 9 am, when temperatures are cooler and evaporation is minimized.

Watering in the evening can lead to the growth of turf diseases due to increased humidity and cooler temperatures.

Monitor the moisture level of your lawn by looking for footprints that don't spring back and a blue-green haze on the grass.

To maintain a healthy root system, your lawn needs about 1 to 1½ inches of water every week.

Factors like temperature, rainfall, and soil type can influence how quickly water evaporates or penetrates the soil.

Seasonal changes, heat, humidity, and rainfall can impact your watering schedule, so adjust accordingly.

Overwatering can cause shallow roots, disease, and fungus growth, as well as wasting water through runoff.

Storm rain often doesn't fully penetrate the soil due to its heavy and rapid nature, making supplemental watering necessary.
