How To Water Your Lawn:
1) Your lawn needs at least 1”-1 ½” of water per week
2) Water deeply 2-3 times per week, rather than daily to provide a deep root system
3) Water as early in the morning
4) If you can’t push a 6” screwdriver into your lawn, you’re not watering enough
5) You will need to water more in the heat, especially if you have a fescue lawn
6) Check lawn sprinklers regularly to be sure you’re getting complete coverage
7) In extreme temperatures (high 90’s and over 100º) for a prolonged time period, you should water lightly daily to cool off the grass. Grass needs more water during the heat because it also uses water as an internal coolant. Daily waterings in the heat should be in addition to your regular deep waterings. If a brown area of grass doesn’t respond to watering, look to a professional for other problems such as fungus like ‘brown patch’
