Although there are many varieties of Fescue, their watering needs are about the same. Like any other living plant, Fescue needs water to grow and look beautiful – about an inch to an inch and a quarter. However, the amount and frequency of watering can greatly affect the quality of your lawn.

When there is too much moisture in the soil, fescue grass is susceptible to brown patch fungus. Typically this is a mid-summer fungus, but it can occur anytime night temperatures exceed 70˚ and grass blades remain wet for periods 10 hours or longer.

A professionally installed irrigation system from Green Scene can help you regulate the exact amount of water your Fescue lawn need.

Zoysia grass is another drought resistant variety. Just like Bermuda, it doesn’t need a lot of water. But the amount and timing of water delivery can make quite the difference. For a healthy lawn, your Zoysia yard needs around one inch of water per week.

For new lawns, that water should be applied in early afternoon. For established yards, the proper timing of delivery is early morning.

And why? It’s very important that the grass blades have ample time for drying. Although Zoysia is a hearty and robust grass, it too is susceptible to fungus and other overwatering diseases.

That’s why a professionally installed irrigation system by Green Scene can provide you with the yard of your dreams! It’s water on demand.
