Lawn Care & Watering Tips: Save Water and Keep Your Lawn Healthy

A well-maintained lawn and garden can bring years of enjoyment with minimal effort when cared for properly. Follow these lawn care & watering tips to keep your landscape lush, healthy, and water-efficient.

Invest in an Automatic Irrigation System

An automatic irrigation system, when correctly designed, installed, and maintained, ensures your lawn stays green while conserving water. A healthy lawn can even increase your home’s value by up to 14%!

Watering Tips for a Beautiful Lawn

1. Divide By Zones:
   Different plants require different amounts of water. Separate your lawn into irrigation zones to give grass, shrubs, and trees the precise watering they need.
2. Measure and Balance:
   Use measuring cups to check water distribution. Aim for one to two inches of water, evenly applied, for optimal soil absorption.
3. Avoid Waste:
   Split watering sessions into shorter intervals with breaks in between to prevent runoff and let the water soak into the soil.
4. Time It Right:
   Water between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. to reduce evaporation and avoid wet leaves overnight, which can encourage fungal growth.
5. Adjust Seasonally:
   Modify your irrigation system as seasons change. Install rain sensors to prevent unnecessary watering during rainy periods.
6. Targeted Watering:
   Use drip irrigation for trees, flowerbeds, and potted plants to deliver water directly to the roots, reducing evaporation and runoff.
7. Inspect Regularly:
   Check sprinkler heads and lines for clogs or leaks to maintain efficiency and prevent costly water waste.
