AIM Landscape: What is the Best Time to Water my Lawn?

What is the Best Time to Water my Lawn? 

The Answer:  The very early morning.

The Reason:  Evaporation.  During the hot Summer months temperatures can reach over 100 degrees in Santa Clarita, CA and in the surrounding areas.  If you program your sprinkler controller for a mid-day watering schedule the water will evaporate so quickly from the surface before it reaches the root system of the turf or the plants.  If you program your sprinkler controller in the evening the evaporation process is too slow and this can cause the water to sit too long and create soggy areas of pooling water that can damage your grass with fungus.  By setting your sprinkler timer for very early morning watering; the evaporation process will not be too fast or slow and the water will reach the root system nourishing your thirsty grass.

Other Helpful Hints:  Make sure that the lawn areas and the planters in your landscape are being watered separately.  Turf usually requires a longer watering time then the plant material.  If you have an automated sprinkler system where one station is watering both turf areas and planters this will usually cause either over watering the plants or under-watering the grass.  This can typically be fixed by either re-wiring the valves or adding a new valve to your existing sprinkler system.  AIM Landscape & Irrigation, Inc. can provide a free estimate to remedy this problem.  Call (661) 252-1788 with any questions or for a free estimate.  Or email at info@aimlandscape.com

AIM Landscape: Save Water and Money!

California is officially in a drought.  Although mandatory water restrictions are not yet in force, we can all do our part for water conservation by making sure our sprinkler systems are running efficiently. 

Irrigation System check:

  • Make sure that all the sprinkler heads are turned toward the landscape areas only.  (Are you watering the side walk?)
  • Water pressure check.  If the water pressure is too high for the sprinkler system it can cause leaky valves and broken pipes and sprinklers.
  • Check for leaks or excess water run off.
  • Check your sprinkler timer.  Make sure the proper watering limits and times are set.

If you need help with an irrigation check; AIM Landscape & Irrigation, Inc. provides affordable Irrigation and Sprinkler system inspections.  Call (661) 252-1788 or email info@aimlandscape.com to set up an sprinkler inspection and start saving water and money today!
