Water Conservation Tips

Your lawn only needs about one inch of water per week or roughly one hour of sprinkling. A half hour twice a week is sufficient for your lawn to remain looking sharp during the hot summer months.

Watering is best early in the mornings or early in the evenings as there is less evaporation. Try to avoid watering late at night as it may cause problems with fungus and mold.

Your lawn retains more moisture if it is mowed to about 1.5 to 2.0 inches (4 to 5 cm) in length, instead of shorter.
