Alright, Sprinkler Head—if you’ve got Bermuda grass, May is go-time. This turf might be tough, but it’s not invincible. As temps start to climb in Zone 8a, Bermuda grass begins to grow like it’s got something to prove. And while it loves heat and sunshine, it also needs consistent, smart watering to avoid turning into a crispy brown patch of regret by June. Let's keep it lush, not fried.
So, how often should you water? In May, aim for about 1 to 1.25 inches per week, broken up into 2–3 deep watering sessions. Skip the daily spritzing—shallow watering leads to shallow roots, and shallow roots lead to sad, needy grass. We want that lawn digging deep, soaking it all in like a champ. Pro tip: water early in the morning (we’re talking before 9 AM) to reduce evaporation and avoid fungal fun that comes with nighttime watering.
Now, coverage matters. Uneven watering can leave you with green splotches surrounded by crunchy sadness. Make sure your sprinkler heads are adjusted correctly and check for clogs, leaks, or random geysers erupting when you’re not looking. A uniform spray pattern is the name of the game, and if you don’t have one, you’re basically watering a Picasso. Not ideal for turf health.
