Watering your lawn with the proper amount of water is essential for a thick, healthy, weed resistant lawn.
For an established lawn, 1" of water, once a week is the rule. During very hot or dry periods, it may need more.
An easy way to figure out how long it takes your sprinkler to give your grass 1" of water, is to use a rain gauge. Put the rain gauge under your lawn sprinkler and time how long it takes to get to one inch. A rough guide is about 3 hours for 1"of water with most sprinklers.
One deep watering is better than frequent shallow watering. One deep watering per week will promote longer and healthier roots. Light, frequent watering produces shallow roots subject to drying out as the surface dries. More frequent watering can cause pooling of water that encourages lawn disease, insect populations and shallow roots to drown.
The best time to water is in the morning. Water pressure is higher and evaporation is low. The soil will accept more water before it is baked by the afternoon sun. Night watering can allow the grass to stay wet too long and promote lawn disease.
