GENERAL WATERING INSTRUCTIONS

These are general watering  instructions. Remember, every property has different soil composition, topography and degrees of shade.

What you want to do is wet the ground so by the end of the day the lawn is dry

​

Overwatering is worse than under watering. Overwatering will increase the likelihood of fungus.

​

Use your Judgment! If you walk on your lawn and you sink in it decrease the water in that area!

​

Ensure sprinklers hit all areas, including along the curb and driveway
