May Watering Wisdom: Deep Watering for a Thriving Landscape

May is a crucial month for setting your landscape up for summer success. As temperatures rise and plants enter their peak growing season, one of the most important steps you can take is to adjust your watering habits. At Lawn Harmony Landscaping, we know that deep, consistent watering is the secret to healthy lawns, vibrant flower beds, and resilient trees.

Why Deep Watering Matters in May

Unlike quick, shallow sprinkles, deep watering encourages roots to grow further down into the soil. This makes plants more drought-resistant, less dependent on frequent watering, and better able to withstand summer heat. In May, as your landscape wakes up from winter and prepares for the hottest months ahead, deep watering gives your lawn and garden the strong foundation they need.

Benefits of Deep Watering:

Promotes deeper, healthier root systems

Reduces water waste and runoff

Helps plants resist drought and disease

Supports lush, green growth all season

How to Deep Water Effectively

Water Early: Water in the morning to reduce evaporation and allow leaves to dry, minimizing disease risk.

Go Slow: Use a soaker hose or drip irrigation for long, slow watering sessions. This ensures water penetrates deeply rather than running off the surface.

Check Soil Moisture: After watering, dig a small hole to check that moisture has reached at least 6 inches below the surface.

Adjust Frequency: Water less often but more thoroughly. In May, lawns and established plants typically need a deep soak once or twice a week, depending on rainfall and temperature.
