Watering Guidelines

There are certain watering guidelines for lawns throughout Central Texas.  As a homeowner, you want a nice looking lawn.  A beautiful lawn will enhance the look of the exterior of your home, giving your home great curb appeal. 

For the latter part of the winter and the early onset of spring, which would be January and February, the rainfall is pretty adequate in the area so not as much watering is needed.  If there is no rain for 3-4 weeks, it is recommended that you water your lawn.

March, April and May are spring months in the state.  Rainfall will really depend on the season but you want to water your lawn about once per week if you see less than an inch of rainfall.

Summer months are scorchers in Texas.  June, July, August and the early part of September can be hot and downright brutal on your lawn.  If there has been less than an inch of rainfall then you need to heavily water each section of your lawn at the minimum of twice per week. 

Fall is also known as brown patch season and occurs in the latter half of September and October.  Brown patch season is mainly triggered by too much watering so reduce the frequency that you water your lawn during this time of the year.  For the latter half of September you only want to water your lawn once a week if there has been no rain.  In October, if there has been no rain, only water your lawn twice that month.

November and December are late fall and early winter season.  The rainfall during this period is usually adequate enough that you don’t have to water your lawn hardly at all.  If there has been no rain for 3-4 weeks then you will want to give your lawn a good watering.

Texas summers can be tough on your lawn.  However, just by adhering to simple watering guidelines, you can maintain your beautiful green lawn with ease.
