Watering

The most common mistake made by people is insufficient watering. Too little water too often encourages a multitude of problems such as a shallow root system. The need for watering depends mainly on your soil and, of course, the weather.

Rainfall Is No Guarantee. Light showers merely wet the surface. Short down-pours do the same. Most of the water is lost in runoff before it can soak in.

How Much Water Is Needed? A lawn will use as much as two inches per week in hot, dry weather – a fraction of that when it is cooler. If you decide your lawn needs water, you should put on enough to wet the entire root zone.

Please water a minimum of 1 inch.

When Is The Best Time? If you can, avoid late afternoon or evening irrigation. Grass that stays wet for a long time favors the development of diseases. However, do not avoid watering at these times if this is the only time of day that you can water.
