When it comes to your lawn’s sprinkler system, it’s important to make sure the water gets deep enough to reach the roots.
If you’re watering several times a week for short periods, you may only be reaching the surface of the soil. This shallow watering doesn’t help your grass develop strong roots. Instead, it’s best to water your lawn just once or twice a week, but for longer durations. This allows water to penetrate deep into the soil and reach the root zone, where it counts most.
Deep watering encourages your grass to grow stronger, deeper roots, which helps your lawn withstand Louisiana’s heat, drought, and other stressors.
