Detect potential problems that help you prevent water waste, water runoff,
& sprinkler damage

• Adjust clocks for seasonal irrigation needs, saving you more water overall
• The less water you use, the more money you save!
• Efficient water usage preserves natural resources and promotes the
  sustainability of our local water source.

Why early morning?

• Reduced Evaporation: Temperatures are cooler, and winds are typically calmer in the early morning, minimizing evaporation.
• Better Absorption: Water can penetrate the soil and reach the grass roots before the sun heats up.
• Fewer Fungal Issues: Keeping grass dry overnight reduces the risk of fungal diseases. 

When to avoid watering:

• Midday: Temperatures are highest, leading to significant evaporation.
• Nighttime: Moisture can linger, increasing the risk of fungal diseases. 

Additional Tips:

• Deep Watering: Aim for deep, infrequent watering to encourage strong root growth. 

• Monitor Soil Moisture: Check the soil a few inches below to see if it’s moist. 
• Adjust Watering Schedule: Adjust your watering schedule based on the weather, time of year, and your lawn’s needs. 
• Consider a Smart Sprinkler System: Smart irrigation controllers can help optimize watering based on weather and other factors. 
• Dormancy: If your lawn goes dormant during the summer, you can water it less frequently (once a month) to keep it alive.
