Water Smarter, Not Harder

Summer is here, and that means it’s time to adjust your watering schedule. Overwatering doesn’t just waste water, it can actually harm your lawn and garden. Smart Watering Tips include 1. Water before 10 AM or after 6 PM to reduce evaporation, 2. Use cycle and soak watering for deeper roots, and 3. Check your sprinklers for leaks or overspray. Don’t know where to start?
