CONSERVATION TIPS FOR WATERING YOUR LANDSCAPE
By Associated Landscape Contractors of America

· Water early in the morning when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation.

· Don’t water on windy days.

· Most established lawns/gardens do not need water more than twice a week.

· Water trees deeply. Use a soaker hose to apply water. You’ll have to water trees and shrubs less frequently if you soak them well.

· Aerate your lawn a minimum of once a year. Punch holes in your lawn about six inches apart so water can reach the roots rather than run off the surface.

· Install a drip irrigation system around your trees and shrubs to water more efficiently.

· Weed your lawn and garden regularly. Weeds compete with other plants for nutrients, light, and water.

· During the growing season, weekly mowing is ideal for lawn areas. During hot, dry conditions, raise mowing heights to reduce water needs. Grass mowed at two to three inches maintains a deeper root system than grass mowed at one inch.

· Apply the minimum amount of fertilizer needed. Although fertilizers promote plant growth, they also increase water consumption.

· The next time you replace a flower or shrub, choose a low water use plant for year-round landscape color and save up to 100 gallons of water each year.

· Buy a rain gauge and keep track of how much rain or irrigation water your landscape receives.

· Use a layer of organic mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons of water each year.

· Direct downspouts or gutters towards shrubs or trees.

· Only water your lawn when needed. You can determine when this is by walking across the lawn. If you leave footprints, it’s time to water.

· Remember that more plants die from over watering than from under watering.
