You have to understand the type of grass that makes up your lawn.

You see, whilst all grasses need a certain amount of water and sunlight everyday some need additional help to look good.

They may also need lawn fertilizer as part of the lawn care you give.

Understanding the type of grass that you have will determine the way you should be creating a lawn watering plan of action, incorporating the lawn treatments that are recommended for it.

If you understand your grass and act accordingly, then lawn care should not be a problem at all.

The best time for lawn watering is in the morning.

Watering a lawn in the morning helps to evade the evaporation process that happens during the warmer parts of the day as generally mornings are much cooler.

To that end, shrubs should be “deep watered” in the evenings.

Keep in mind external environmental elements. There is no need for lawn watering when it’s raining (or snowing).

Most lawns don’t need to be watered in the spring, due to the rainy weather. Lawn watering usually doesn’t need to start until June (or in the middle of May for those who want to get a jump on the process).

The challenge of getting enough water to your lawn can be quite difficult, depending on the type of grass you have, the quality of the soil and the size of area you have to cover - not forgetting, of course, the weather conditions you have been experiencing.

If you want to get all technical, you can set up collecting bins and measure just how much your sprinkler system delivers to a given area and then compare that with the grass specification you can look up.

For most of us, it will be enough to see that the grass is looking dry and then to ensure that we use our lawn watering systems accordingly.
