Is it bad to water your lawn at night? Here’s what the experts say

A lawn being watered by sprinklers at night

With temperatures as hot as they are, our lawns need all the help they can get. That means taking the time to mow it, apply fertilizer as necessary, and of course, water it regularly. The trouble is, we’re so busy over the summer that it can be difficult to find a time to do this that’s convenient. Add to that, with the summer heat, our precious water seems to evaporate before it’s made an impact. 

Because of this, watering your lawn at night can become an attractive prospect. Views on this habit are mixed though, with some saying it’s allowable in moderation, and others outright advising against it because of the potential consequences. So we asked the experts for their take on this matter, to find out where the line is on watering your lawn at night. We will consider the benefits as well as the drawbacks so we can finally put the question to bed or whether it’s ok to water your lawn at night.
