Consider the soil type and surface features. Grass growing on compacted, fine soil or on a slope needs lighter, more frequent watering
Watering in the morning reduces water lost from evaporation and wind.
watering in the evening leaves the grass wet for longer, increasing the risk of disease.
Grass growing near large trees may need to be watered more often, because the tree roots absorb much of the soil’s water.
In extended hot, dry periods, a lawn may wilt, turn brown and become dormant.
