Watering
Just like you, TruGreen cares about your lawn and its overall health. There are also ways that you can be an active participant in keeping your lawn and landscape lush and green. Sufficient water is essential to growing and maintaining a lush, beautiful lawn. TruGreen has provided watering tips to keep your lawn healthy.
- Deep soaking encourages the development of a deep root system and makes your grass healthier.
- Inadequate watering can cause your grass to thin, lose color, and be more susceptible to insects and disease.
- The key is to get enough water into the soil to thoroughly soak the root zone.
- Most grasses require about one inch of water each week for healthy growth.
- Water in the morning if possible to conserve water and let grass dry before evening.
- If excessive thatch is present, water slowly to allow for penetration and reduce run off.
- Newly seeded areas should be watered at least daily to keep surface moist.
