Hearing Examiner Housing Human Services Information Technology Intergov. Water Deeply, to Moisten the Root Zone, but Infrequently.
Grasses do better when the whole root zone is wetted and then partially dries out between waterings.
Avoid frequent shallow watering that causes shallow rooting. Overwatering can promote lawn disease, leach nutrients from the soil, and wastes water. Newly planted lawns will need daily watering if planted in the late spring or summer. Replant in September to avoid that chore, but be ready to water if it stops raining. Aerate the lawn if water won't penetrate because of soil compaction or thatch buildup.
