Watering Your Burlington Lawn

We hope you had a great May long weekend! We enjoyed some beautiful weather and the upcoming forecast is great as well! Enjoy the weather but please don't forget to tend to your grass...and gardens, too! It's been a very dry spring, so it's very important to water regularly. Young grass and seedlings need daily water; if it gets over 25 degrees Celsius, twice a day might be necessary. 

Here are a few tips from Weed Man Burlington:

When should I water my lawn?

Early morning is the best time to water the lawn. Mid-day watering during hot dry weather can waste water, since much of the moisture evaporates. Evening watering promotes the spread of many turf diseases.

How can I tell if my lawn is suffering from drought?

The symptoms of drought begin with a dark silvery tinged grass blade. At this point your foot prints become clearly visible. The grass does not bounce back when you walk on it. If action is not taken at this time, the grass plants will turn a straw color. If the lawn shows symptoms of drought, water immediately regardless of the time of day.
