Watering your lawn is essential to keeping your grass healthy—but how much water does your lawn actually need? 🌱
In this video, Chance Prewitt, Turf & Tree Specialist at Oasis Turf & Tree, breaks down the ideal watering schedule and shares simple, effective ways to make sure your lawn is getting exactly what it needs.
For homeowners in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky areas, proper watering is especially important due to hot summers and inconsistent rainfall. The key is deep and infrequent watering—not short, daily watering sessions.
We recommend applying ½ inch of water, twice per week per zone, to give your lawn the full inch of water it needs weekly. This helps promote deep root growth, leading to stronger, more resilient turf.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ How much water your lawn actually needs
✅ Why deep, infrequent watering is best
✅ The dangers of watering too frequently
✅ Best time of day to water (early morning)
✅ How to tell if your lawn needs more water
Key Tips:
💡Water ½ inch, twice per week for optimal results
💡Avoid daily shallow watering—it leads to weak roots
💡Water between 5 AM – 11 AM for best absorption
💡Heavy rain often causes runoff, not proper saturation
💡Light drizzles usually aren’t enough
