What is the best way to water my lawn in summer?

Water deeply and less frequently, about 1 to 1.5 inches per week including rainfall. Water in the early morning between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m. to minimize evaporation. Avoid frequent shallow watering, which encourages shallow roots. Use a rain gauge to track how much water your lawn actually receives.

Why It Matters

Proper watering is the most important factor in a healthy summer lawn. Deep roots are more drought-resistant and require less water overall.
