South Florida is one of the toughest climates for keeping your lawn and plants healthy year round. It seems simple but a healthy, vibrant lawn starts with the right irrigation schedule. Too much water can invite fungus and weeds, while too little leaves your property stressed and struggling. Follow these smart watering tips to keep your landscape looking its best year-round:
Smart Watering Tips
- Irrigate Early for a Thriving Lawn – Water between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM to reduce evaporation, maximize absorption, and keep fungal issues at bay.
- Soil Check – Don’t Drown the Lawn! – Test the soil before watering. If it’s still moist, hold off to prevent overwatering. Your grass needs hydration, not a swimming pool!
- Use Rain Sensors & Forecasts – Avoid unnecessary watering by installing rain sensors or checking the weather before running your system.
- Weed Out Bad Watering Habits – Overwatering creates the perfect environment for weeds and fungus. Sticking to a proper schedule helps keep them at bay.
- One Size Doesn’t Fit All – Different areas of your yard require different amounts of water. Grass, shrubs, and flower beds have unique needs, and watering schedules should be adjusted seasonally to keep everything thriving.
