When watering you lawn please keep in mind your local water restrictions. It is better to give your lawn a good soaking than it is to lightly water it. The deeper watering helps to get the water deeper in the soil and encourages the roots to go deeper as well helping the lawn tolerate a drought better. The best time to water is early in the morning. Watering a lawn in the evening or late at night may promote the growth of fungus.

In the Triangle area or Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Wake Forest and Chapel Hill you will need to apply about 1 to 1.25 inches of water each week in the spring and fall and about .5 inches of water every third day. This summer watering almost follows the current Raleigh water restrictions.

Please use the following link to the Wake County North Carolina Environmental Services Water Quality Division webpage to learn more about the water restrictions in your area.
