Hi , evening works best as the water evaporates quicker during the day so done in the early evening after the sun has come off the area works best as it has chance to soak right into the root system 😬

Kacper · Answer

Yes — morning is generally best. It gives the turf time to absorb water before heat builds, and the grass dries during the day, which helps reduce disease risk. Evening watering can leave it damp overnight.

For new turf, the key is keeping the soil underneath consistently moist while it roots, rather than little frequent sprinkles. Better to water deeply in the morning (and in hot weather maybe a light second watering later if needed) than waste water with shallow watering.
