A beautiful, lush, green lawn adds beauty and comfort to a front and backyard. It provides a soft carpet where kids can play comfortably and a comfortable spot for relaxation. But a lawn also needs maintenance and care in order to stay lush, green, and comfortable. An important part of that care is making sure that your lawn is properly watered. A lawn is just like any other plant and it requires regular food and water in order to survive. Before watering your lawn, make sure your community doesn't have any watering restrictions that limit the amount of time, the time of day, or the duration of your watering. The best time to water is either early in the morning or late at night. Watering during the hottest part of the day is a bad idea. On a particularly hot day, water evaporates before it even hits the ground and you can lose a substantial amount of your water to evaporation. If you choose to water when the sun is highest, you are choosing to waste precious water that could be benefiting your lawn. It's best to water when the air is coolest and the wind is calm. This is typically between 4:00 to 9:00 AM. Water only when your grass really needs it. This helps conserve water. And as you water, make sure to water deeply to encourage root growth. Frequent shallow watering promotes the germination of weeds.
