BLOG Maximize Lawn Health with Just Mow and Go’s Irrigation Insights Nov 05, 2024

As the warmer months approach, it's time to focus on keeping your lawn healthy and vibrant. One of the key components to a lush green lawn is proper irrigation, and at Just Mow and Go, we want to provide you with some valuable insights to help you maximize your lawn health.

First and foremost, it's essential to understand the watering needs of your lawn. Different grass types have different watering requirements, so make sure you know what type of grass you have in your yard. For example, cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and fescue need about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, while warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia require around 0.5 to 1 inch of water per week. By understanding your grass type's specific needs, you can avoid over or under watering, both of which can cause damage to your lawn.

Consistency is also key when it comes to watering your lawn. It's better to water deeply and infrequently rather than shallow and frequently. Deep watering encourages deep root growth, which makes your grass more resilient to drought and other stressors. It's generally best to water your lawn early in the morning to minimize evaporation losses and reduce the risk of disease.

At Just Mow and Go, we offer professional irrigation services to ensure your lawn gets the right amount of water at the right time. Our team of experts can design and install a custom irrigation system tailored to your lawn's specific needs. With features like smart controllers and drip irrigation, we can help you conserve water while keeping your lawn healthy and beautiful.

In addition to proper watering, it's important to maintain your irrigation system regularly. Check for leaks, clogs, and misaligned sprayers to ensure that your lawn is getting the water it needs. Adjust your irrigation schedule according to the weather conditions to avoid overwatering during rainy periods.

Another important aspect of lawn health is soil quality. Compacted soil can prevent water from reaching the roots of your grass, leading to dry patches and weak growth. Aeration can help alleviate soil compaction and improve water infiltration, allowing your lawn to thrive.
