Did You Know?
Watering in the early morning or late evening when there's less wind reduces water loss.
Mowing bluegrass 2.5"-3" tall will promote deeper rooting and shade the plant's root zone. Never cut more than 1/3 of the leaf blade.
Using low water-using plants that provide seasonal colors and textures for year-round beauty can help save on irrigation costs.
