Florida Rain Has a Schedule, But Does Your Lawn Have one?
Florida homeowners know the routine: sunshine in the morning, a huge rainstorm in the afternoon, and sunshine again by dinner.
So, does your lawn really need its sprinklers, too?
Let Mother Nature Help ☔
During Florida’s rainy season, your lawn can get plenty of water from rainfall. If you’ve just had a big storm, your sprinkler system may not need to run.
Before watering, check the weather and see how much rain your lawn has already received.
More Water Isn’t Always Better 💧
Overwatering your lawn can cause problems, including poor root growth and increased chances of lawn disease.
Instead of automatically watering on a set schedule, pay attention to your grass and the weather.
Watch Your Lawn 👀
Your grass can tell you when it needs water. If it looks healthy after a few rainy days, let it be!
When Florida gets a break from the rain, check your lawn for signs of drought stress before turning on the sprinklers.
The Bottom Line 🐼
Florida rain can do a lot of the watering for you.
Check how much rain your lawn is getting before turning on your sprinklers, and adjust your irrigation when the rainy season rolls in.
