Watering your lawn is vital to keeping it healthy and vibrant, whether it’s newly installed grass rolls or an established instant lawn. Proper watering promotes growth and root development whilst also helping to protect your lawn from disease and pests. Here, StrathAyr answers some of the most common questions about watering your grass turf in Australia.
How Often Should I Water My Lawn?
How frequently you should water your lawn depends on several factors, such as the climate, the type of soil and the type of grass you have. Watering your lawn once or twice a week is sufficient for most types of grass.
How Long Should I Water My Lawn?
Water your lawn deeply and infrequently, allowing the water to penetrate the soil and reach the roots. You can use a sprinkler or irrigation system to deliver water to your lawn. The best time to water your lawn is early morning when the air is cooler and there’s typically less wind.
What Type of Water Should I Use?
The type of water you use to irrigate your lawn can also impact its health. Rainwater is the best option, as it’s free of chemicals and minerals that can harm your grass. However, if you’re using tap water, it’s important to be aware of any mineral content or chemicals that might be present. If you’re using bore water, have it tested to ensure it’s safe for your lawn.
