Best watering times for your lawn and landscaping

Mclean Landscaping and Irrigation, a trusted name in the landscaping industry, recommends watering the lawn and landscape in the early morning as opposed to the evening. Many homeowners may not be aware that the time of day they choose to water their lawn can affect the health of their plants.

Watering your lawn and landscape in the early morning hours has several benefits. Firstly, the temperatures are cooler in the morning, which means less evaporation and cost savings on your water usage. Secondly, the early morning hours provide an ample amount of time for your lawn and landscape to dry during the day. This helps to prevent the growth of fungal diseases that thrive in moist conditions.

Watering in the evening may seem like a good idea since it can relieve heat stress and give the lawn and landscape a refreshing feeling. However, this can lead to the lawn remaining wet overnight, creating a high-risk possibility for the development of fungal diseases.

Another potential disadvantage of watering your lawn and landscape in the evening is that the excess moisture can attract insects, such as snails and slugs, that are detrimental to plant health.

In conclusion, Mclean Landscaping and Irrigation recommends watering your lawn and landscape in the early morning. This practice can save money, minimize the risk of fungal diseases, and prevent insect infestations. By following this advice, homeowners can look forward to a beautiful and healthy lawn and landscape throughout the year.
