💧Summer Turf Grass Watering 💧
Hey Pinckney neighbors!
Proper watering is the #1 way to keep your turf thick, green, and healthy all season long. Here’s the exact game plan:
✅ **Water DEEP but INFREQUENTLY**
Give your grass 1–1.5 inches of water per week (total). Water 2–3 times max — not every day! Deep watering pushes roots down 6–8 inches so your lawn handles drought like a champ.
✅ **EARLY MORNING is the ONLY time to water**
4–9 AM is prime time. It cuts down evaporation, lets the grass dry before night (no fungus!), and beats the afternoon heat.
✅ **Measure it right**
Scatter a few empty tuna cans around the yard. Run the sprinklers until they’re filled to 1 inch. That’s your target — no guesswork!
✅ **Skip these mistakes**
❌ No midday watering (90% evaporates)
❌ No evening watering (invites disease)
❌ No light daily sprinkles (creates shallow roots)
Pro tip: If your grass goes slightly dormant (turns a little brown) during extreme heat waves, don’t panic — it’s protecting itself. It’ll green right back up when temps drop or rain returns.
