At Farison Lawn Care, we’re all about keeping your lawn lush and lovely and believe it or not, much of that comes down to knowing when to water the lawn. It might sound simple, but many people either under-water or drown their lawns, all at the wrong times. Grass, like us, is a living thing, and it needs the proper care to properly thrive!

Understanding the Best Times to Water Your Lawn

Let’s dive into the ideal time for giving your lawn a drink. Timing is crucial if you want to maximize efficiency and keep your turf in tip-top shape:

Early Morning (4 a.m. to 10 a.m.): This is the prime time. The air is more relaxed, and the winds are milder; the perfect conditions for the water to soak in deep without too much evaporation. Plus, watering now means the grass has plenty of time to dry off under the sun, dodging any risk of nasty fungi.

Late Afternoon to Early Evening (4 p.m. to 7 p.m.): Miss the morning window? No problem! The late afternoon is your next best bet. It’s cool enough to keep evaporation low but sunny enough to dry the grass blades before nightfall.

When Should You Water Your Lawn?

Wondering when should you water your lawn? Here are a few telltale signs that it’s time to turn on the sprinklers:

  1. Footprint Test: Walk across your lawn. If your footprints don’t disappear quickly, it’s because the grass blades don’t have the moisture they need to spring back up.
  2. Color and Texture Check: Is your lawn looking a bit sad? If the grass has a dull, bluish tint or feels brittle and dry, it’s screaming for hydration.
  1. Soil Test: Stick a screwdriver into the soil about an inch deep. If it feels dry, it’s time to water.
