That’s called scalping. It should be avoided because it can make your grass thin out, lose color, and introduce more weeds and crabgrass. If a lawn is scalped during the hot summer, it will look yellow and burned out.If your lawn is mowed properly, it will be healthier, have a deeper color, be more resistant to disease and insects, and be less likely to be taken over by weeds.

It’s best to water in the early morning, because it means that more water will penetrate into the soil, and allow less evaporation throughout the day. While many people prefer to water in the evening, your soil won’t dry enough before nightfall, which can introduce disease.
