Why Well Water Changes Lawn Care
Sherborn runs on well water. Most of the town has no public main, so every drop that hits a lawn came out of the ground under that same lot. Over the last decade dozens of wells had to be drilled deeper, and a dry stretch can pull a well down.
Lots run one to three acres by zoning, so you get long stretches of turf, tree roots competing with the grass, and shade from mature oak and pine.
What We Do on a Well Lot
- Set the mowing height around the water you have
- Set irrigation runtimes around the well
- Build soil and root depth so the grass holds through July
- Hold off on soft ground so we do not rut it

I'm on a private well. Can you still put in irrigation and keep my lawn watered?
Yes. Nearly every Sherborn property waters off its own well, so we design and run irrigation to match what your well can give. During dry stretches or a state drought we back off runtimes, water early, and lean on mowing height and healthy roots instead of soaking the yard. The goal is a green lawn that does not run your well down.
My yard stays wet down near the wetlands and the Charles River. What can be done?
Low ground in South Sherborn and along the river drains slowly, and till soil holds water after a storm. We can grade and shape trouble spots, adjust the mowing plan so we are not rutting soft ground, and choose plantings that tolerate wet feet. For the dry uplands we do the reverse, building soil and root depth so the grass holds through July.
