The following is a list of watering musts to help ensure that your lawn is looking its best throughout the summer season:

1.      Your lawn needs at least 1" of water each week, whether it's from rainfall or is in a combination with your irrigation system.

2.      The best times to water your lawn are either in the early morning or in the early evening.  This is because there is less wind and heat at this time of the day.

3.      Infrequent and deep watering will produce the healthiest lawn (1" of water will soak up to anywhere from 4"-6" deep).

4.      Stop watering right away if puddles or run-offs form.  You need to allow the water to soak in before continuing with your watering regimen.

Here are a few tips to efficient irrigation:

1.      Adjust your irrigation timer seasonally - and more often in the summer to save more water.

2.      Apply water in short cycles to allow absorption without the risk of run-off.

3.      Add a rain shut-off switch to your system.  This device keeps sprinklers off in wet weather and can be fitted to most systems by a professional.

4.      Check your system monthly for broken heads or leaks that can turn an efficient system into a guzzling machine.

5.      Adjust sprinkler heads routinely to keep water on the landscape and off buildings and pavement.

If you have checked your system and found broken heads or leaks, give the professionals at IRRIGATION M.D. a call; we do repair work on any system.
