During the hotter months of the year, you should irrigate the turf two to three times per week, trying to obtain between one to one and a half inches of water. The best way to measure your water is by placing small cans in your yard to collect both rainwater and water from the sprinkler. Watering less frequently with longer periods of time prevents evaporation and allows the water to move into the root system. Watering in the morning hours between 4:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.  is recommended.
