During cooler months in fall and winter, your lawn doesn’t need watering every week … It’s the best time to train your yard to need less water! So only water your lawn every other week and only if it needs it.
Too much irrigation:
- Makes your lawn less able to survive droughts
- Encourages pests and disease
- Wastes water
How much is enough?
- Grass doesn’t need as much water in the cooler months
- Apply 1/2" to 3/4" of water
- Water only every 10-14 days in the winter
Your lawn needs watering when:
- Grass blades are folded in half
- Grass blades are blue-gray
- Your footprint remains on the lawn
