How Much Should You Water Your Lawn This Spring?
Spring is a critical transition period for your North Texas lawn. As grass and plants awaken from winter dormancy, proper watering becomes essential for establishing healthy growth patterns that will carry through summer.
Our Recommended Spring Watering Schedule:
- Standard Sprinklers: Water once per week in three 10-minute cycles (2 AM, 4 AM, and 6 AM)
- Shaded Areas: Reduce watering by 50% or more for heavily shaded sections
- Rotary Head Sprinklers: Double your watering times (these systems distribute water more slowly)
- Drip Systems: Run for 10 minutes, three days per week to maintain consistent soil moisture

Why This Schedule Works for North Texas
- This carefully designed watering approach:
- Allows water to penetrate deeply into our clay-heavy North Texas soil
- Encourages deeper root growth for drought resilience
- Prevents water waste through runoff
- Minimizes evaporation by watering during early morning hours
Monitor and Adjust
Because drip systems vary in flow rates, regularly check your garden beds to ensure proper moisture levels. Adjust timing if you notice consistently dry or overly saturated areas.
Year-Round Watering: The Foundation of Lawn Health Consistent, season-appropriate watering throughout the year is the cornerstone of a thriving North Texas lawn. Proper winter watering protects roots from freeze damage and prepares your lawn for spring growth. By following our seasonal watering recommendations, you’ll develop a resilient lawn that can better withstand the challenges of our unique North Texas climate.
