Sioux Falls summer heat is no joke right now, and your lawn is feeling it.
But here's the thing most homeowners get wrong: watering more often is NOT the answer. Daily shallow watering actually trains your grass roots to stay near the surface, making your lawn MORE vulnerable to heat and drought, not less.
Water less frequently, but deeper. 2-3 times per week, long enough for water to reach 4-6 inches into the soil. This pushes roots deeper where it's cooler and moisture lasts longer, giving you a stronger, greener lawn even when temps are pushing 90+.
Your grass will thank you.
