Your lawn and landscape are thirsty. With no significant rainfall in several days, now is the time to give your grass, flowers, shrubs, and trees a good drink. The best time to water is early in the morning (between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m.) when temperatures are cooler and less moisture is lost to evaporation.
• Lawns need about 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall.
• Garden beds typically need 1–2 inches per week, depending on plant type and sun exposure.
Pro Tip! A deep, thorough watering is much better than a quick daily sprinkle. Deep watering encourages stronger roots and healthier plants that can better handle summer heat.
A little extra attention now can help keep your landscape looking its best all summer long.
