Water-wise tips for the spring and summer

When should I water?
- Water only on designated days.
- Water early in the morning (1-6 am). Evaporation is minimal at this time.
- Do not water on windy days.
- Paddock Irrigation will help you design a watering schedule that matches your lawn's changing needs throughout the irrigation season.

How can I water efficiently?
- Water you grass deeply and infrequently. This helps make the grass more drought tolerant by allowing roots to grow deeper.
- Paddock Irrigation will assure that your sprinkler heads are providing proper coverage.
- Use drip hoses in flower beds. By applying water directly to the plant root zones, water is directed exactly where you need it and very little water is wasted on the areas between widely spaced plants.
More tips for homeowners
- Know what kind of grass you have. Varieties of grass require different amouts of water to stay healthy.
- Know you soil. Soil types require different water strategies.
- Raise you mowing height. The longer grass blades will promote a healthier plant, decreasing wilt between watering times.
