YOU NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT WORKS WELL FOR YOUR LAWN, SOIL TYPE AND AREA. ALL LAWNS REQUIRE WORK AND ATTENTION

The amount & scheduling of watering depends on the weather and the time of year your sod is laid. Remember that during dramatic weather changes or season changes, new grass can easily go into shock.

WINTER: Water as needed (winter weather tends to water your lawn for you).

SPRING: Depending on your soil condition either sandy or slay soil, just make sure that your lawn does not dry out. Allow the soil to stay moist and not over watered (See troubleshooting guidelines below.)

SUMMER: June, July, August & September are very hot and dry months. You will need to water your lawn first thing in the morning and then again at mid-day or at the hottest time of the day. The watering time is split up to ensure that your grass has water throughout the day and will not dry out. Never water at night. Watering at night can result in fungus growth. MYTH: Watering in the afternoon will burn your lawn. FACT: Over-watering that creates puddles on the lawn can cause the area to cook. Regular watering in the afternoon will not burn the grass.

FALL: Depending on your soil condition either sandy or clay, just make sure that your lawn does not dry out. Allow the soil to stay moist and not over watered (See troubleshooting guidelines below.)
