9 Common Watering Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Turf

Overwatering

Providing excessive water to your turf can lead to shallow root growth, disease, and waterlogged soil.

Underwatering

Insufficient watering can cause the turf to become stressed, leading to brown patches and weakened grass.

Inconsistent watering

Irregular watering schedules can result in uneven growth and make your turf susceptible to drought stress.

Watering at the wrong time

Watering too frequently

Watering too little at a time

Light, infrequent watering doesn't penetrate deep into the soil, leading to shallow root development.

Ignoring signs of water stress

Failing to recognize signs of water stress, such as wilting or color changes, can lead to long-term damage to your turf.

Overlooking rainfall

Not adjusting your watering schedule based on natural rainfall can lead to excessive watering and unnecessary water usage.
