This summer has been a hot one! Have you been watering your lawn properly? It’s hard to keep up with all of the rules for maintaining the perfect yard, but we are here to help! It is important to make sure that you are watering your lawn at the best time of day, not overwatering or watering too frequently.
Although it is common belief that watering at night is the best time of day to water your lawn, this isn’t exactly true. Watering at night could cause problems further down the road for your yard. It could cause fungal diseases to take over. The best time to water during the hot summer months is in the morning! Typically, two hours before sunrise is going to be the perfect time to water. If you water your lawn during the middle of the day, the sun will just evaporate the water and then the water is unable to soak into the grass’s roots. So by watering two hours before the sun comes up, there is time for the water to absorb properly. Knowing when to water your lawn is key. However, you also need to know how much water is necessary, too. It is not necessary to water your lawn every single day. In fact, not only is it not necessary, it isn’t healthy for your lawn. It is better to water your lawn less often. A good rule of thumb is to water every other day or every 2 days for a longer length of time. This creates a deeper root system for your grass. During the summer, it is recommended that you water around 1 to 1.5 inches per week. It is also helpful to check your local weather forecast! You never want your lawn to be too saturated. So if a large storm is imminent, maybe hold off on watering. Also, if you have questions about if you’re overwatering, take a look at your edges. If your lawn’s edges are beginning to turn brown, but the soil is moist, then you are probably overwatering. If you have any questions or concerns about your lawn, drop us a comment, send us a message or give us a call. We will be happy to answer any of your questions!
