Effective Watering

A properly watered lawn is healthier, looks greener, and is able to survive drought conditions. Start with these watering tips to bring out the best in your lawn this year.

  • Water Slowly

    Soil tends to absorb water slowly. So you’ll want to water slowly - like a gentle rain.

  • Water Deeply

    Water for 30 to 35 minutes to allow the water to soak in. Deep watering encourages deep root growth.

  • Water 2 to 3 Times Per Week

  • Watch For Dry Spots

    Weeds, insects, and disease can cause the most damage here.

  • Water early in the Morning

    Water early, before the heat of the day and never water at night to avoid lawn diseases.

As you’re watering, watch for runoff. If the water runs off before it soaks into the yard, you may want to get a timer for your sprinkler and lower water pressure.
