How Often Should You Water Your Lawn?

Water deeper and less often for a healthier yard.

Deep, not daily

About an inch of water a week, split into one to three sessions, grows deeper roots than short daily watering.

Water early

Early morning watering loses less to evaporation and lets grass dry before evening, which helps prevent disease.

Do the tuna-can test

Set a few empty cans in the yard and time how long it takes to fill one inch. Now you know your run time.
