Watering Quick Tips

Watering is extremely important for maintaining a healthy lawn.  Watering helps cool the grass plant, create food, help seeds germinate, and keeps your lawn looking green and healthy.  Prolonged periods without watering the grass do not allow it to cool off which causes it to become more susceptible to diseases, browning, and dormancy during the summer months.  The conditions in which grass plants lose the most water are during humidity, high temperatures, high light intensity, and strong winds.

To prevent browning, dormancy, and to keep your lawn healthy and beautiful water deeply but infrequently.  This encourages deep root systems for strong and healthy grass.  Shallow watering can cause the grass to root closer to the surface in the thatch and make it weak.

Timing for watering is best in the early morning hours where the temperature is low to prevent evaporation and winds are light.
