Water Saving Tips for Spring and Summer

As the weather is heating up, we need as many ways to conserve water as possible. This can be especially hard while you are establishing a new lawn but for seasoned lawns, there are plenty of good practices that will help save water.

Water Saving Tips for New Lawns:

Your lawn will need to stay moist throughout the establishment period. This can be a huge drain on water supplies as for two weeks your lawn should be watered about four times a day.

But, you can save water by being sure not to overwater your lawn. You only need to keep the turf and immediate soil beneath damp.

The best way to do this is by using overhead irrigation, such as a portable sprinkler. By attaching a tap timer to the hose, you don’t need to worry about leaving the water running for too long. (This also saves you time and is useful after establishment).

With these simple, but effective water saving tips, you can keep not only your lawn happy during spring and summer, but your water tank as well.
