Quick facts on how to efficiently water yards:
- Water in the morning right before sunrise. Usually during this time, the grass is already damp and is prime to absorb additional water.
- It is best to water for about 30 minutes in each zone around your home. Anything more could increase chances for mold to grow, and anything less won’t penetrate the soil enough.
- During daylight saving time, all counties in Central Florida allow two days of watering per week, depending on your address numbers. Those days are listed below.
