General Watering Instructions

1. During the spring, lawns should receive about 1 to 1-1/2 inches of water per week, either by irrigation or rain. During the hotter summer months, lawns should receive 1-1/2 to 2 inches of water per week, either by irrigation or rain. The easiest way to determine how much water your sprinkler system puts out is to place a container (ie, an ice cream bucket or a coffee can) in the yard while the system is running and see how much water accumulates in a 15 or 30 minute period. Use this information to program the sprinkler system accordingly.

2. Watering infrequently (1-2 times per week) and providing one inch of water each time forces grass roots to grow deeper as they follow the moisture levels down into the ground and is the best way to promote a deep, healthy root system.

3. The best time to water is early in the morning. This practice prevents evaporation of the water by sunlight and the dispersal of water droplets by wind, but still allows the lawn to dry out before diseases or fungi can develop.
