When it comes to watering our lawns, many homeowners just set out the sprinkler system, turn it on and let it run for a while, assuming our lawns are getting enough water. The reality is many may be underwatering or overwatering their grass. It can do more harm than good. To provide the proper hydration for your lawn, it is important to understand how to water your lawn at the right time and in the right amount. There are some important questions to consider:
- How frequently to water?
- How much to water?
- What time of day to water?
- How to apply water uniformly?
- How your turf irrigation affects your landscape plants?
- What type of water sources is your irrigation water?
- What are your local irrigation ordinances?
