How do you keep your turf looking top-notch? It’s all about the water. Too much or too little, and you’re in trouble. Here at Farison Lawn Care, we’re all about helping you find that sweet watering spot that keeps your grass as happy as a clam.

So, How Much Water Does Your Grass Need? 

Believe it or not, there’s a method to the madness. Most lawns need about 1 to 1.5 inches of water weekly, rain or shine. But here’s how you can tweak it to fit your lawn’s mood:

  • Feeling Hot: When the sun is blazing, crank up the watering to 2-3 times a week. Your lawn’s thirsty and needs that extra TLC to stay hydrated.
  • Cool as a Cucumber: When the weather cools, your lawn slows down. This means you can reduce the watering to once a week.
  • Baby Blades: Got new grass? Treat it gently. Once or twice daily, a light sprinkle will help it set down roots without getting overwhelmed.

When’s the Best Time to Water? 

Timing is everything! The best proper watering time for lawns is early in the morning. This gives your lawn all day to drink up and dry off before night falls, keeping those nasty lawn diseases at bay.

Signs You Might Be Over or Under-Watering

 Keep your eyes peeled for these telltale signs:

  • Too Much: Is your lawn feeling a bit squishy? Are you seeing mushrooms? It might be time to cut back on the watering.
  • Too Little: Grass looking dull and footprints sticking around too long? Looks like your lawn is thirsty—time to water!
