When Should You Water Your Lawn?
The best time for lawn irrigation is in the early morning hours. Watering during the day wastes water to excessive evaporation. Watering in late afternoon or late morning may be detrimental if it extends the time the lawn is naturally wet from dew. This extended “dew period” can accelerate disease and pest occurrences.
How much water does your St. Augustine Grass Need?
As a general rule of thumb your lawn should receive 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week (Including irrigation and rain). Oftentimes residents leave irrigation on automatic regardless of rainfall which leads to fungus, pests and disease. If we receive more than 1.5 inches of rain in a week manually turn your irrigation off if you have established grass and plants and hand water any new plant material.
