A green lawn makes your home feel warm and inviting. But overwatering can waste water and cost you money. Follow these five simple tips to keep your grass happy and your water bill low.
1. Water When It’s Cool
Water your lawn early in the morning before sunrise. Cool air means less water loss to evaporation. Picture dewy grass glowing in the soft morning light.
2. Aim for Deep Roots
Give your lawn one inch of water per week instead of small daily sprinkles. Deep watering helps grass roots grow strong and stay green during dry days.
3. Fix Leaks Fast
A broken sprinkler head or leaking pipe can waste gallons every day. Walk your yard while sprinklers run and listen for drips. Call us to repair leaks quickly.
4. Use Smart Timers
Modern sprinkler controllers adjust watering based on weather and soil moisture. They stop watering when it rains and water less in cool weather. This means perfect watering without guessing.
5. Mulch and Mow High
Keep grass taller—about three inches high. Taller grass shades roots and holds moisture longer. Use clippings as mulch to feed soil and lock in water.
A little effort goes a long way. Follow these tips and watch your lawn turn bright green without wasting water. Ready for a hassle-free sprinkler check‑up? Call 360 Sprinklers today for a free estimate and start saving water tomorrow!
