It is really important to make sure your lawn has enough water to thrive, particularly during the spring and summer months. Here’s our tips on watering your lawn and how often you should water established or newly sown lawns.
Established lawns
When to water
The best time to water your lawn is in the early morning to avoid water evaporation and to prepare the grass for the day to get dry again. Avoid watering when sun is at its peak .
Your grass will need water if you step, or put pressure on it and it doesn’t come back to its position. It will also need water if the blades become wilted or if it’s starting to change to a dull colour.
Newly sown lawns
It is essential to keep new seed and turf watered whilst it is establishing, this will help to promote strong root growth. Water lawns that are sown or laid in the spring or autumn, especially in dry weather. New lawns require water in hot, dry spells to ensure establishment.
Water thoroughly, using a sprinkler. Take care to not wash the seeds away. Water daily until established, over the first 3-4 weeks.
