Did you know that landscaping can increase your property value by up to 13 percent? For example, you can plant trees or add a picturesque water feature like a fountain or small pond.

Maintaining your lawn will boost your home’s value as well; this means watering, mowing, and fertilizing regularly.

How Often Should You Water Your Lawn to Keep It Lush and Healthy

How often should you water your lawn? Does it matter when you do it? How much water should you use?

For the answers, be sure to keep reading. We’ll be going over everything in detail below!

How Often Should You Water Your Lawn in the Summer?

You want to water your lawn once or twice weekly so that it gets 1 to 1.5 inches of water each time. Keep in mind, however, that it also depends on the weather.

For example, you may need to do it three times a week if there hasn’t been any recent rainfall.

You also want to take into consideration the age of your lawn. Generally speaking, younger lawns need more water as they need to develop a strong root system.

Matured lawns, on the other hand, don’t need to be watered as frequently as they already have a healthy root system in place.

What’s the Best Time to Water Your Lawn?

Ideally, you want to water your lawn before 10 a.m. Not only are temperatures cooler, but winds also tend to be calmer; this will prevent the moisture from evaporating, which will give the grassroots more time to absorb the water.

For those who don’t have time to water the lawn in the morning, you can always hire a landscaping company such as Tuxedo Yard Care.

You can also set up a sprinkler system with a timer. That way, it’ll automatically water the lawn at preset times.

How Much Water Should You Use?

You want to water the lawn so that the top 6-8 inches of soil is wet; that’ll give the grass enough water to stay lush and healthy.

How can you tell if there’s enough water? Stick a 6” screwdriver into the soil. If it’s difficult to push in, there probably isn’t enough water. If it goes all the way in with ease, there’s likely enough water in the soil.

At the same time, you don’t want to overwater the lawn as that can suffocate the grass and stunt root growth. Not only that, but it can also lead to mold and fungus.

Summer Lawn Care Tips for Homeowners

Now you can answer the question, “how often should you water your lawn”. As you can see, it depends on various factors from the weather to the age of your lawn. Do it regularly and you won’t have to worry about there being any dead grass.
