Every lawn requires general maintenance, whether it's fertilizing, watering, or killing weeds; you may also need to give it additional care depending on where you live. The type of grass that grows depends on the climate, as well as how you care for it. When visiting a local nursery or home store, read the labels of the grass seed and sod product, as the manufacturers will label their product according to regions with the best growth performance.
There are five major warm season grasses. Some can only tolerate warm climates, while others can tolerate both. If you live in the Northeast, you may want to consider a grass seed like Bermuda or Zoysia, as both tolerate warm and colder climates. If you live in a mild climate where it does not get too hot or too cold, grasses like St. Augustine and Kikuyu are the best option. The three most commonly used cool season grasses are Bluegrass, Fescues, and Ryegrasses. All three do well in regions with cold winters, but do not fair well during hot summers. Typical regions where cool season grass would be best would be Seattle and Boston.
Once you have your lawn how you want it, keep it that way. A simple checklist can easily keep your lawn healthy, green, and lush. If you live in a dry climate, water your lawn an hour before and an hour after sunrise. Be careful not to water when the sun is out because the reflection of the water could potentially burn the grass, turning it brown.
It's important to mow your lawn at least every other week, if not once a week. Just remember, mowing and watering your lawn are not the only things that keep your lawn looking great. Some other great tips to preserve your lawn are to leave clippings on the lawn after mowing in order to gain free fertilizer, aerate to let the grass and soil breathe, overseed to help crowd out weeds, and try to treat them organically weekly or pull them by hand.

Is there a website with regional lawn watering tips?

If you're living in a rural area where everyone gets water from wells and springs how do you convince your selfish neighbor to conserve water and not water their 1 acre lawn during the summer?
==Suggestions== It may be difficult to convince a wealthy neighbor to voluntarily allow their lawn to deteriorate once it has been installed. Most people want to protect the value of their most costly investments. Perhaps a way to address this problem would be at the regional-community level. You could work with regional officials to write and adopt a plan that sets forth the facts of the water shortage, suggestions that include plantings that minimize the need for watering, and a community policing policy that would notify greedy homeowners that their water usage is affecting the entire community. Also, a strong regional community policy would serve to warn potential lawn builders to expect criticism and censure from the community if they install and maintain a lawn thereby overusing their share of the shared, limited public water supply. Public disfavor may be required to get the attention of someone who can afford a one acre lawn in a water depressed area.
