Tips for watering your lawn

A few tips and tricks to get you started towards a healthy, green lawn.

How often should you water your lawn? What is the best time to water your lawn?

Here are a few helpful tips to get you started. First if you would like your lawn to properly watered I would highly recommend getting an in-ground sprinkler system. An in-ground sprinkler system will not only water your lawn more effectively and efficiently, but will also make your life easier. With an in-ground sprinkler system you can simply set it and forget it. You will never be too busy or too tired to water your lawn. The best method for watering your lawn is to have each zone on for 20-30 minutes every other day and to have them all shut off by sunrise. Watering your lawn properly is crucial to a healthy lawn.

It is also important not to over water your lawn as well. Over-watering your lawn can lead to a number of problems as well. Trust me I have seen my fair share of over-watered lawns as well. Not only will over watering your lawn hurt your wallet it can severely damage your lawn. One problem with over-watering is that it can drown your grass roots. If the roots have water surrounding them all the time than air will not be able to penetrate the root system. The roots of your grass or any plant for that matter will end up suffocating as a result of lack of oxygen. The grass will as a result die shortly after. What is Over watering you may ask? Watering your lawn every single day is one example and the other would be watering for over an hour on each zone. You may be tempted to over water your lawn during the hotter months but it will do more damage than good.
