How often should I water my lawn?
The frequency of watering your lawn depends on various factors such as weather, soil type, grass species, and irrigation system. As a general guideline, Eastern Municipal Water District suggests watering lawns deeply and infrequently. For warm-season grasses, it is typically recommended to water 1-3 times per week, applying 1 inch of water each time. Cool-season grasses require less frequent watering, usually 1-2 times per week, with the same volume. To determine the ideal watering schedule, consider using the ET (Evapotranspiration) system, which calculates water loss due to evaporation and plant transpiration. This enables you to adjust irrigation based on specific climatic conditions. Regularly monitoring soil moisture levels is also vital. Remember, water conservation is crucial, so ensure not to overwater or water during prohibited hours.
