Resolve: What should I do, and when?
- How do I keep my lawn green in summer?Mow higher, water deeply and less often within your local rules, and make sure water is actually soaking in.
- How long should I run my sprinkler?Long enough to apply the amount of water you're aiming for, which depends on how fast your sprinkler puts water out.
- How much water does my lawn need?It depends on your climate, soil, grass and the season, so measure rather than guess.
- How often should I water new turf?Keep new turf and the soil just underneath it moist until it roots in, which usually means watering daily or more in hot weather at first.
- What's the best time of day to water?Early morning is best.
