Watering Guidelines

In the heat of the summer, southern lawns need around one inch of water per week. When the red Evapotranspiration line climbs above the blue rain total, it's time to water. Leaf wetness displays moisture levels on leaves and shows the first signs of rain, with a range from 0 being dry and 15 being completely wet.

Last rain date of more than 0.02 inches:
18 Dec 2024 (0.54 in)
