During these dog days<\/a> of spring and summer<\/a>, your lawn needs water now more than ever. Without a sufficient amount of rainfall, these hot weather conditions can be a killer for your lawn and garden. You may find yourself working harder this season to keep your grass lush and green. Keeping your lawn hydrated is very important, so here are a few tips to help you water your lawn and keep it healthy all season long.<\/p>\n

Watering Tip #1 \u2013 Water your lawn before the heat kicks in.<\/strong> This way water is less likely to evaporate before it reaches the roots of your grass. It\u2019s not a necessity, but it is recommended to water your grass earlier in the day \u2013 ideally before 10:00 am. Another important consideration to make is what time you mow the lawn. Mowing in the morning<\/a> is better for your grass, but you shouldn’t mow after you water the grass. Wet grass causes clumping and ruts, and leaves your lawn vulnerable to certain diseases<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Watering Tip #2 \u2013 When watering, you need to water deeply.<\/strong> Water your lawn every 3 to 5 days, but only enough to wet most of the root area. Allow your lawn to dry out between watering. Frequently watering the grass keeps that root area consistently wet, reducing the amount of soil oxygen that is available to the roots and inviting fungi <\/a>that can cause lawn diseases.<\/p>\n

Watering Tip #3 \u2013 Look for signs of drought.<\/strong> While you shouldn\u2019t water your lawn too frequently, you shouldn\u2019t go too long without watering it either so look for signs of drought. Sometimes the grass leaf doesn’t have enough water to bounce back after foot traffic and just lies over. Look back on an area that you have walked on. If you still see the footprints, this is an early sign of drought stress, and you need to water your grass.<\/p>\n

Also, consider the color of the grass. A purple-blue color often indicates drought stress. Before the grass turns brown <\/a>from lack of water, it fades to a purple-blue color. If you see these colors, it\u2019s time to water your lawn.<\/p>\n

Watering Tip #4 \u2013 Adjust your sprinkler system.<\/strong> Be mindful of the weather \u2013 rainfall, hot temperatures<\/a>, etc. \u2013 and adjust your sprinkler system accordingly. Avoid setting it at the beginning of the season and forgetting about it. Another thing to consider is adjusting your sprinkler pressure to water with large droplets, which are less likely to be blown by the wind and more likely to fall and penetrate through the soil.<\/p>\n

Watering Tip #5 \u2013 Set a schedule.<\/strong> Choose to water either in the early morning or evening to minimize water lost to evaporation. If your lawn is subject to fungi, water in the early morning to allow excess moisture to evaporate.<\/p>\n

The hot, humid weather that comes with the spring and summer seasons<\/a> is not always kind to our lawns. With consistent care, regular watering and these tips, you\u2019ll be able to keep the lawn cool and healthy.<\/p>\n
