Summer watering is important to help your lawn stay healthy.

Temperatures are expected to stay in the 80s throughout the week, so don’t forget to give your lawn the water it needs to stay healthy!

Smart lawn watering tips

• How much water? Lawns needs about one inch of water per week, depending on your soil, site conditions and rainfall. Not sure how to measure one inch of water from your sprinkler? Check out our short demonstration video.
• When to water: Water deeply once or twice a week instead of giving it a little each day. This helps grass develop deeper, stronger roots, making it more drought-resistant. Shallow, frequent watering encourages short, weak roots.
• Best time: Water early in the morning before temperatures rise, so more moisture soaks into the soil rather than evaporating. Midday watering wastes most of the water.
• Seasonal routine: From May to October, keep watering slowly and deeply. If you allow your lawn to go dormant in the summer, it will thin out and be more prone to weeds, moss and insect pests once the rains return.
• Remember: Healthy lawns with deep roots actually use less water over time!
