  • Water the soil, not leave: You need to put water on the soil; you should not put water on the leaves. Water keeps evaporating, so it is better no to put on leaves.
  • Only water in your lawn when it needed it: You need to sprinkle the water, and you also must observe that it is falling on the soil, and it is soaking it. If it is frequently soaking then you must sprinkle more water in that place. Read up on impact sprinkler heads review before purchasing one.
  • Water at the right time: You must always put water at the correct time. Mostly in the morning or evening. If you give water in the afternoon all the water evaporates.
