Your lawn should be watered several times per week year-round, though it may not necessarily require water every day. Remember, your lawn is also getting water from rain. Always check your rain gauge to see if your grass is getting at least an inch of water per week. Too much water can be just as harmful to your lawn as not enough water. Daily watering can cause your grass to develop a shallow root system, meaning it will dry out fast, especially in times of drought or little rain. Many people choose to install an automatic sprinkler system so they can control how much and how often their sprinkler system is watering their lawn. This is an effective way to ensure you’re not wasting water!
