September watering
The cycle-and-soak technique will help prevent runoff and make your lawn more tolerant of the summer heat. We suggest applying this technique each time you water your lawn.
Pop-ups:water each zone for 5 minutes, let it soak in for one hour and repeat twice for a total of 15 minutes of watering per zone for each watering day.
Rotor heads: water each zone for 9 minutes, let it soak in for one hour and repeat twice for a total of 27 minutes of watering per zone for each watering day.
Rotary nozzles: water each zone for 19 minutes, let it soak in for one hour and repeat twice for a total of 57 minutes of watering per zone for each watering day.
Manual sprinklers: unlike irrigation systems, watering with manual sprinklers is tricky because you have to manually divide your lawn. Using your best judgment, we suggest separating your lawn into equal sections (“zones”) when watering to ensure an even distribution. Water each section for 19 minutes, let it soak in for one hour and repeat twice for a total of 57 minutes of watering per section for each watering day.
Watering three days per week is allowed during irrigation season. Your lawn’s root system will expand much better if it is not over watered or watered too frequently.
