Everyone loves a well kept lawn in the summer. It's nice to look at and fun to play on. But to what extents should we go to keep our lawns green? Can we keep our lawns green while still being "green"? Yup! And here's how.
Set your lawn mower higher. Longer grass retains water better.
Water in early morning when it is cooler to minimize evaporation.
Adjust sprinklers so only the lawn is watered, not the lawn, house, sidewalks, cars, etc.
