When to Begin Watering Lawn in Southern Colorado?

Southern Colorado is mountainous to the west and flat to the east. Watering decisions should be based on elevation, climate and local rainfall.

  1. Geography

    • Colorado's terrain plays a major factor in watering a lawn. Higher elevations have rocky, fast-draining soil and dry weather year-round. Lawns may need water even when rain and snow are ample.

    Considerations

    • Observe a lawn and water it anytime there are more than seven days of dry weather and temperatures above 45 degrees.

    Time Frame

    • Water the lawn slowly for several days using soaker hoses, hose-end sprinklers or deep root needles. Focus on a different part of your lawn each day. Water the lawn between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
