Your Gainesville lawn generally needs an inch to inch and a half of water a week in summer, including rainfall. Barring rain, irrigate two or three times a week, about a third to half an inch of water each time. Reduce watering during the cooler winter months, but regardless of the season, watch closely for signs that your grass is thirsty and water it as needed.<\/p>

To water effectively, you need to know when to start watering and the best times of the day to do so. Moreover, your grass type also plays a role in your watering program.<\/p>

Key Takeaways<\/h2>

Water no more than 3\/4 of an inch per session:<\/strong> But a third to a half inch of water two or three times a week is enough, depending on your grass type. This includes rainfall.<\/p>

Water when needed:<\/strong> Wait for your grass to show signs of dryness. Water more frequently in hot, dry weather. The best time to water is in the morning.<\/p>

Gainesville has watering restrictions:<\/strong> You can\u2019t irrigate between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. You also can\u2019t irrigate for more than one hour or with more than \u00be inch of water at a time. If you have an automatic irrigation system, you need to use a rainfall shutoff device with it.<\/p>
