Tips to Prevent Lawn Care Problems from Watering
Avoid future lawn care problems from watering by following these basic guidelines...by Robert DeStaso Landscaping.
- New lawn – Water enough to keep the surface moist.
- Existing Lawn - Water deeply but infrequently.
- Water in the morning. Grass blades dry as the day warms up, discouraging disease.
- Sloped lawns – Water less, but more frequently to prevent runoff.
Overwatering can result in...
- Root rot.
- Wasting a valuable resource.
- Runoff of soil, fertilizer, and/or pesticides.
- Increased risk of disease such as fungus.
Underwatering can result in...
- A thin lawn.
- A decrease in root depth.
- Stunting of growth.
If you put some effort into creating a healthy lawn, you will be better prepared in case your Town passes a Lawn Watering Restriction.
