Your lawn can get stressed, as a result. How can homeowners like you in Summerville,\u00a0Charleston, and nearby areas in SC provide grass care that keeps it in good shape, while still being careful about the amount of water you use? Here are a few tips to follow.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Water less often, yet deeply.<\/strong> When there&#8217;s a drought, your lawn goes into dormancy mode. It looks like it&#8217;s dying, which might make you think you need to water it daily, but really, it&#8217;s just going to sleep for a time until better conditions arrive. If you do need to water, though, infrequent, yet deep watering is best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid watering when it&#8217;s windy.<\/strong> When you water, make sure conditions are favorable. If the wind is stronger than 5 mph in the Summerville area, water will evaporate faster on your grass, making your care less effective.\u00a0Simply\u00a0wait until it\u00a0calms down a bit to water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water\u00a0in the early morning. <\/strong>While you might like to water at night, this puts your lawn at risk. Moisture sits on grass blades overnight, meaning it&#8217;s more prone to infections spreading. Midday watering is also less effective because water evaporates faster. Instead, water during the early morning, between 6 and 10 am, to reduce evaporation loss and the chance of a disease spreading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prioritize what you water. <\/strong>If you have newly planted areas in your lawn, whether it&#8217;s grass,\u00a0trees, or shrubs, these young plants need water more than established ones do. So, aim to prioritize your watering so you&#8217;re not wasting resources\u00a0in areas that don&#8217;t really need it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep your lawn longer.<\/strong> When your grass blades are longer, they provide shade for the soil. As a result,\u00a0the water that your lawn does get will be absorbed into the root system. A shorter lawn, on the other hand, means water will evaporate faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Get More Grass Care Help from the Team Trusted in\u00a0Summerville<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If your lawn needs more than water, but a treatment plan, turn to the team at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Charleston.
