Watering your lawn at the right time can make a big difference in plant health, water conservation, and your monthly bill.
The best times to irrigate are in the early morning (before 10 AM) or later in the evening (after 6 PM). During these cooler parts of the day, temperatures are lower and winds are calmer, so less water is lost to evaporation. This allows moisture to soak deeper into the soil and reach plant roots more effectively.
Watering during the heat of the day often leads to wasted water, as much of it evaporates before it can be absorbed. That wasted water can add up quickly on your utility bill. By shifting your irrigation to early or late hours, you can use less water while keeping your landscape healthy, which means lower monthly water costs.
A simple change in timing helps promote stronger plants, conserve a valuable resource, and save you moneyā€”making it a win for both your yard and your wallet!
