I know the general guidance is about 1 inch of water a week for a lawn, depending on all kinds of conditions. Philadelphia area where I live averages a little bit under 1 inch a week of rainfall from April-October, so I get most of the water that way.
My actual question has to do with the two trees in my front yard. They are maples, about 2 1/2 stories tall. The front there is very dry and hard.
How much water do I need to keep the lawn fed with the trees sucking up so much? 2 inches/wk? 3?
