Water Conservation Tip #1: Water your lawn like a winner!

Watering your lawn in the early morning minimizes evaporation and waste. A hearty rain can eliminate the need for watering up to two weeks. These suggestions are based on grass needs, so be sure you follow water restrictions. In Spring, lawns only need watering once every 3 to 5 days. In Summer, lawns only need watering once every 5 to 7 days. In Winter, water once every 10 to 14 days.
