When it comes to lawn watering, many homeowners water too much, not enough, or at the wrong times. But this simply wastes water and it can actually damage your lawn in the long run, opening it up to weak growth and spreading diseases. So what’s the best way to water your lawn? With these lawn care watering tips from\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Clarksville:<\/p>\n
Avoid shallow watering. <\/strong>One of the biggest mistakes in lawn care Clarksville area homeowners make is watering for regular, short intervals. But when you water your lawn 10 to 15 minutes each night, you’re actually creating conditions for shallow root growth, along with attacks by insects, diseases and weeds.<\/p>\n Instead, water your lawn deeply \u2013 for about an hour – once a week. If your lawn starts turning brown, continue to avoid frequent watering. It’s simply\u00a0dormant and will bounce back with more frequent rainfall.<\/p>\n Water between\u00a06 and 9 a.m.<\/strong>\u00a0You don’t want to get up a little earlier to water your lawn. And yet, early morning watering\u00a0is best. If you water later in the day, droplets will evaporate under the heat of the sun. Likewise, watering at night keeps grass blades moist too long, making them more susceptible to diseases, pests and insects.<\/p>\n Use the right sprinkler for your job. <\/strong>When it comes to effective watering, you need the right tools for the job. If you don’t have a sprinkler system installed and want to water your entire\u00a0lawn, use an impact or oscillating sprinkler. For medium-size areas in your lawn, oscillating sprinklers also work well, as do rotating sprinklers. For small spots, choose a fixed (also called stationary) sprinkler.<\/p>\n Beyond watering, caring for your lawn requires many different tasks and treatments at key times during the year.
