Best Time of Day to Water Grass
Here’s a pro tip that’ll make you feel like a lawn genius: do the screwdriver test. Stick a flathead screwdriver into the soil an hour after watering. If it slides in like butter, you’re golden. If it feels like you’re stabbing concrete, water deeper. Easy. Also, water at the base of the grass, not the blades. Overhead sprinklers are fine, but aim for the roots. That’s where the party is.
And if your sprinkler is the cheap oscillating kind that shoots water into the sidewalk? You’re not watering grass—you’re giving the asphalt a free spa treatment. Adjust that thing. Be the boss.
