Like Frank we do not water our lawn it will look tough in very hot dry weather, but when it rains it comes back. We do fertilize once or maybe twice in five years because one of our next door neighbors has a lawn service doing theirs it looks like a green carpet but they have to cut it twice a week. We cut ours once a week when it needs it and don't cut when it is hot and dry. We are in the north and everyone has lawns but most folks don't water their lawns at least not around here. I sometimes water the gardens when it is very dry, depends on how much rain we get during the garden season.
