How Much Should You Water Your Lawn in June in Tulsa?

Keeping your lawn green and thriving during a Tulsa summer can feel like a challenge, especially when the weather heats up in June. At Nutri-Green, we’ve helped thousands of local homeowners care for their lawns through every season, and we know that watering the right way this month makes a big difference.

Here’s what you need to know to keep your grass healthy and hydrated—without overdoing it.

Tulsa’s June Weather: What Your Lawn Is Up Against

By June, Tulsa lawns are feeling the heat. Average highs hit the upper 80s, and while we do get some rain, it’s not always reliable. That mix of warmth and unpredictable moisture means your lawn will depend more on consistent watering to stay green, full, and stress-free.

How Much Water Does Your Lawn Really Need?

As a general rule, your lawn needs about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall. This helps your grass build deep roots and stay strong through the hotter weeks ahead.

Here are a few pro lawn watering tips from our lawn care experts at Nutri-Green:

Water early in the morning, ideally between 6 and 10 a.m. Watering in the heat of the day leads to evaporation, and watering at night can encourage disease.
Water deeply and less often. A good soak a few times a week is better than a daily light sprinkle. Deep watering encourages stronger root systems.
Keep an eye on the weather. If we get a good rain, you can skip your next watering. Too much water can cause just as many issues as not enough.

Signs Your Lawn is Overwatered or Underwatered

Your lawn will usually give you a few clues if something’s off:

Signs of Overwatering:

Yellowing grass or soggy soil
Fungal growth
A thick, spongy thatch layer

Signs of Underwatering:

Brown or dry patches
Grass blades that stay flat when stepped on
Soil that feels dusty or dry a few inches down

At Nutri-Green, we help our customers read these signs so they can adjust their watering habits before problems set in.

Watering Is Just the Start—Don’t Forget These Summer Lawn Care Musts

To get the most out of your watering efforts, be sure the rest of your lawn care routine is dialed in:

Don’t cut your grass too short. Keeping your grass at a good height helps shade the soil and reduce moisture loss. Use the chart on our Proper Mowing Maintenance page to determine the best height for your lawn.
Feed your lawn. June is a great time to apply a balanced fertilizer to support healthy summer growth.
Eliminate weeds. Weeds compete with your grass for water, nutrients, and sunlight—especially in the heat of June. Staying on top of weed growth now helps prevent larger problems later. Nutri-Green’s targeted weed control treatments keep your lawn looking clean, healthy, and uniform all summer long.
