The hot, humid days have presented a challenge for gardeners trying to keep lawns looking good.
Water is one of the basic requirements for maintaining a healthy lawn.
Water your lawn when the soil begins to dry out and before the grass wilts. When a lawn wilts, grass blades roll or fold. The grass will begin to change color from a dark green to a blue-green. Another sign that your lawn needs water is its ability to bounce back into shape after you walk across it. If you walk across your lawn and you can still see your footprint after two minutes, it is a good bet your grass needs watering.
