To maintain a strong, dense, healthy lawn, it is important to water during dry periods. A lawn needs approximately 1 - 1 1/2" of water weekly. This should be applied twice a week in a single application 3 - 4 days apart. Daily, light watering only promotes shallow rooting which encourages crab grass and an unhealthy lawn prone to diseases. The normal garden hose and sprinkler combinations take 2 - 3 hours in one location to water effectively.

If you have a built in sprinkler system, we recommend varying your watering schedule. You can check the amount of water by putting out a bowl or rain gauge.

Do not let your new lawn dry out and crust over.
