Proper Watering Is Key to a Healthy Lawn This Summer in Chicago

CHICAGO, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Chicago area continues to face a warm and dry summer, Dr. Green Services is offering expert advice to help residents maintain healthy lawns with smart, water-efficient practices.

"Watering correctly can make all the difference in lawn health during dry weather," says Marc Harris, Operations Manager at Dr. Green Services. "Understanding when and how to water helps homeowners protect their lawns, conserve water, and avoid common mistakes."

Simple Tips for Smart Lawn Watering

To help educate homeowners, Dr. Green Services has published a helpful article titled Watering Best Practices for Lawns. The blog outlines effective strategies tailored to Midwest climates:

• Water early in the morning—between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m.—to reduce evaporation and the risk of fungal growth
• Provide 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall
• Avoid daily light watering, which promotes shallow root systems
• Use a rain gauge or moisture meter to measure watering accurately

Understanding Lawn Dormancy

Brown or dry-looking lawns during the summer don't always mean the grass is dead. In many cases, it's simply in dormancy, a natural state that helps grass survive drought by slowing growth and turning brown temporarily.

"The key is staying calm and sticking to proven watering practices," explains Harris. "That's how homeowners can support strong roots and long-term lawn health."
