I am just curious as to how others in TV are keeping their lawns looking good this hot summer.
If I'm not mistaken, either deed restrictions or county ordinances permit watering only twice per week. If you have a good lawn to begin with, southern grasses shouldn't need much more than that. Besides, it rains for a hour or so almost every day.
