Lawn Irrigation
Smart watering for healthy grass
Proper watering makes the difference between a mediocre lawn and an exceptional one. Whether you have an irrigation system or water manually, understanding when, how long, and how frequently to water is essential. Our smart irrigation systems and watering advice ensure your lawn gets moisture it needs without waste.
Watering Best Practices
Deep, Infrequent Watering
Water deeply 1-2 times per week rather than frequent shallow watering that encourages shallow roots.
Early Morning Timing
Water between 4-10 AM when wind is calm and grass has time to dry before evening.
Proper Amount
1-1.5 inches per week including rainfall measured with rain gauge or tuna cans.
Adjust for Weather
Smart controllers automatically adjust watering based on temperature, rain, and humidity.
Signs of Watering Issues
Footprinting
Grass doesn't spring back after walking on it; first sign lawn needs water.
Blue-Gray Color
Grass loses bright green color and takes on grayish-blue tint when drought-stressed.
Wilting
Grass blades fold in half or curl; lawn is very thirsty and needs immediate water.
Fungal Disease
Evening watering or overwatering creates humid conditions that promote lawn diseases.
