Most lawns are overwatered, and the schedule is usually the problem rather than the sprinklers. Deep, infrequent watering beats a daily sprinkle for both the grass and the bill.
The deep soak
Watering less often but for longer pushes moisture down to the roots, building a deeper, tougher lawn. A daily sprinkle keeps the roots shallow.
The timing
Early morning watering loses the least to evaporation, while midday sun and nighttime wetness both waste or stress the grass. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Warwick, summer mornings are best.
The amount
Most lawns need about an inch of water a week, and a rain gauge or a can test tells you how long your system takes to deliver it.
The adjust
The schedule should change with the season, and a rain sensor or a smart controller skips the watering when nature handles it.
The call
Set the schedule that waters the roots, not the sidewalk. Call 888-217-3585 and Warwick Plumber Connect will match you with a Warwick pro.
