It is best to water your grass less the cooler it gets outside. For example:
-60 degrees or lower- when needed or up to one time per week.
-Between 70-80 degrees- up to two times a week
-90 degrees or higher- up to 3 times a week or when grass is noticeably dry.
How to tell if my grass needs water?
- Blades begin to fold.
- Wilting.
- Color changes to a blue grey.
- When the grass doesn’t bounce back when walked on. (If footsteps don’t disappear after walking on in).
When is the best time of day to water my grass?
-Before 10am or after 4pm.
-Water is less likely to evaporate and will saturate the lawn if watered at these times.
