💧 Watering Your Lawn the Right Way

Watering seems simple, but it’s one of the most misunderstood aspects of lawn care. Too little and your grass dries out. Too much and you encourage disease and shallow roots. Here’s how to get it just right:

• Water Deep and Infrequently
  Rather than a light daily sprinkle, aim for two to three deep watering sessions each week. This trains your grass to grow deeper roots, making it more drought-resistant and healthier overall.

• Time It Right
  Watering early in the morning — ideally between 5 AM and 9 AM — allows the grass to absorb moisture before the heat of the day causes evaporation. Avoid watering in the evening, as moisture left on the grass overnight can promote fungus and disease.

• Use the Tuna Can Trick
  Not sure how much you’re watering? Place a tuna can on your lawn during a watering session. When it’s filled to about one inch, you’ve reached your weekly goal. Simple, smart, and effective.

Proper watering makes a huge difference in the health and appearance of your lawn — and it’ll save you money on your water bill in the long run.
