Sustaining grass needs moisture. How much depends on the climate and geographic location, species, and other factors.
Heat and humidity can speed evaporation and increase water demand. Direct sunlight further dries lawns causing damage to or death of grass plants if not watered adequately.
Watering correctly offers stress relief for the lawn – helping it survive during heat waves. Even in places with humid climates irrigation ensures proper saturation.
Fertilization also helps reduce water requirements by increasing drought tolerance and preventing runoff into storm drains. Soil aeration can likewise improve water absorption, decreasing the amount needed to keep your grass healthy.
Appropriate watering times and frequencies help sustain gardens in harsh weather conditions while minimizing wastefulness and cost due to overwatering or flooding.
In short, like any living thing, lawns need adequate hydration to endure scorching summers or cold winters. Knowing when, where, and how much water to apply makes all the difference for a verdant thriving lawn – both years ahead!
