Watering both your lawn and garden is important for their overall health. In Arizona, you should follow a strict watering schedule to ensure your plants are receiving the right amount of water at the right times throughout the year. Throughout the year, you should be watering your lawn every 3 days. However, how long you water for each time should be based on the time of the year. In the summer, you should water your lawn and garden for an hour and a half each time. Then, in the spring and fall, you can cut back to about an hour each time. In the winter, your plants won't need as much water as they will throughout the rest of the year, so you can cut back the watering time to about 45 minutes each time.


Water Your Lawn Every 3 Days Throughout The Year

Due to the high temperatures that we experience throughout the year here in Arizona, you will need to water your lawn and garden all year long. Ideally, you should be watering your vegetation every three days. This will provide your grass and plants with enough water to stay hydrated. By following this watering schedule, your grass will have all the water it needs to grow healthy and strong.


Water Your Lawn For About an Hour & a Half Each Time in the Summer

Arizona experiences extremely hot summers, so it’s important to make sure your lawn and garden receive enough water to endure the heat. When you water your lawn for about an hour and a half each time, it will saturate your soil and your plants will have enough time to soak up the water before the sun evaporates it. Because the sun can take such a toll on your vegetation, it's important that you adhere to the every 3-day schedule and make sure you give your plants enough water!

The summer temperatures in Arizona average over 100 degrees Fahrenheit!

You Should Water Your Lawn for About an Hour in the Spring and Fall

In the spring and fall seasons, you should be watering your lawn for about an hour each time to adequately supply it with the water it needs to flourish. These seasons aren’t as harsh on your lawn compared to the summer, but they do still experience high temperatures, so your grass will need to be watered often to receive the water it needs to thrive. By watering your lawn and garden for an hour every 3 days during the spring and fall, you can ensure your grass stays hydrated and maintains its beautiful green color throughout these seasons.


During the Winter Season, You Should Water Your Lawn for About 45 Minutes

During the winter season, you should only need to water your lawn for about 45 minutes each time. Because the weather is cooler during this season, you don’t need to worry about your grass drying out too quickly. However, you still need to make sure your grass gets enough water to last until the next watering cycle. By watering your lawn for about 45 minutes every 3 days, your vegetation should be able to absorb the water it needs to stay lush and green!
