Irrigation

What is “Smart Irrigation?”
 It is an automated system that uses controllers to adjust watering schedules
based on local climate conditions.
 It can reduce water consumption, water bills, and time spent setting up
sprinklers.
 It encourages grass roots to deepen, which allows lawns to stay healthy and
green.

Manual Irrigation Tips
 Don’t water every day! A single watering every 3-4 days will prevent
overwatering and let the water soak in.
 The best time to irrigate is from 4 – 8 am, when water pressure is the highest,
wind has little to no impact, and there is a low chance of water evaporating.
 Use 2 – 4 inches of mulch around plants, bushes, and trees to reduce
evaporation, improve water penetration, and control weeds.
